Adding an Angular library makes the publish process fail

[Gimly]

I'm trying to do a publish, but the node node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --env.prod command that is run during the publishing process fails with errors related to libraries that I am using. Namely, angular2-notifications and ng2-semantic-ui.

Everything is working fine when I'm running the application, but when I try to publish I get errors. I have reproduced the error by simply adding the angular2-notifications library to a freshly created project and I'm getting that error:

     @ ./ClientApp/boot.browser.ts

What I did to reproduce the error was

• Create a fresh dotnet/angular app dotnet new angular
• Import the angular2-notifications library using npm npm install angular2-notifications --save
• Modify the app.module.shared file and add SimpleNotificationsModule.forRoot() to the NgModule import
• Add <simple-notifications></simple-notifications> to the top of the fetchdata.component.html
• Add <button (click)="saySomething()">Say something!</button> to the end of the same file
• Add private service: NotificationsService to the fetchdata.component.ts constructor parameters
• Add saySomething() { this.service.alert("This is an alert!"); } to the FetchDataComponent class

If you try to run the app directly, you'll have the "Say something" button added to the fetch data sample which, when clicked, displays a notification. Then, if you try to publish, you'll have the error message I pasted above.

Found the solution, issue was linked to the AoT, as explained in issue #1168. I could fix it by removing the include: /ClientApp/ setting from webpack.config.js.

Closing this issue since it's already going to be fixed in the next SDK.
