Current behavior

I was following the Upgrade documentation to upgrade an Angular1 Component to Angular2: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/upgrade.html

When using @angular 2.2.1’s UpgradeComponent, it gives an error saying this.$injector is not found in upgrade_component.js

Upon closer inspection… Line 97 of upgrade_component.js is undefined:

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions Minimal Demo is created using angular-cli, with only one filed added: https://github.com/dolanmiu/angular2-upgrade-test https://github.com/dolanmiu/angular2-upgrade-test/blob/master/src/app/chart/chart.component.ts

The corresponding .ts file is here: https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/modules/@angular/upgrade/src/aot/upgrade_component.ts#L121

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I need to upgrade old existing Angular1 code into Angular2

Please tell us about your environment:

• Angular version: 2.2.1

• Browser: [all | Chrome]

• Language: [all | TypeScript]

• Node (for AoT issues): node --version = 6.9.1

If you are using upgrade/static then you should only move the AppComponent to the entryComponents and not put anything inside ngDoBootstrap. The Angular 1 app will be responsible for instantiating the downgraded AppComponent

Well, and there is another scenario in which $injector is undefined.

When we inject an upgraded service (e.g. $rootScope) into a downgraded service (in this example, MyService) and inject MyService into a run() block, then MyService is constructed with $injector still undefined.
