Description

I updated angular version with ng update @angular/cli @angular/core command from 7.2.15 to 8.2.3

Compiling is fine.
But when i access to localhost:4200, console error occurs that Uncaught TypeError : StaticInjectorError[Compiler -> CompileMetadataResolver -> HtmlParser -> I18NHtmlParser]:
this.input.charCodeAt is not a function [compiler.js:9372]

the compiler.js file is in webpack:///./nodemodules/@angular/compiler/fesm2015/compiler.js

I debugged this through Call Stack.
the topmost Call stack is in main.ts

It points

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule,
  {
    providers: [
      {provide: TRANSLATIONS, useValue: translations},
      {provide: TRANSLATIONS_FORMAT, useValue: 'xlf'}
    ]
});

I use this function for i18n of JIT purpose

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this, this is due to a breaking change in raw-loader version 2. See: https://github.com/webpack-contrib/raw-loader/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#200-2019-03-18

To fix the issue, you need to use the default export.

From

const translations = require('raw-loader!./i18n/messages.ko.xlf');

To

const translations = require('raw-loader!./i18n/messages.ko.xlf').default;

I am going to transfer this to the angular/angular repo to fix the docs in
https://angular.io/guide/i18n
