"crypto-js": "^3.1.9-1",
"typescript": "^2.9.1",
angular v4.4.7

Looks like a duplicate of #24963. Can you try typescript@next?

[jindalrohit]

@DanielRosenwasser It still did not work.

[sandersn]

#24997 is a much better solution to the assert you're hitting. I tried compiling crypto-js and succeeded with master (and failed with 2.9.2); can you try with tomorrow's typescript@next?
