I think this is maybe an issue in ngc. I found the related angular/angular#26738 maybe.

If you edit

projects/mscorelib/tsconfig.lib.json:    "annotateForClosureCompiler": true,

and change it to false it will not run tsickle, which will avoid this as well.

Hi.. i'm having the same issue https://travis-ci.com/jsGanttImproved/ng-gantt/builds/121972040

Is it fixed?

[Delagen]

@mariohtmol it fixed in compiler-cli by adding moduleResolutionHost as I know
angular/angular@6ece7db#diff-3153093ed4c8893b1a1c791b9ad85813R109

[mariohmol]

Thanks! could make it work upgrading to latest ngpackagr and tsickle.
