Current behavior When compiling project with ngc and typescript@2.1.1 compilation fails with: Metadata emit requires the sourceFiles are passed to WriteFileCallback. Update to TypeScript ^1.9.0-dev

When downgrading typescript to 2.0.10 the compilation is successful.

Expected behavior ngc should compile project with typescript@2.1.1.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

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

I did a little debugging on rubber-duck’s problem. One of the reasons seems to be line 187 in tsc-wrapped’s collector.js: if (node.flags & ts.NodeFlags.Export) { Here, ts.NodeFlags.Export is undefined in Typescript 2.1.

This corresponds to the line in the source.

In my case running ngc does not fail with an error but the output directory only contains AoT files for node_modules.

Using the typescript 2.0.x produces correct/expected output.

You can check out the project here - do npm run ngc and it will create correct output in the build/aot folder, upgrade to typescript 2.1.x and retry and you will only see build/aot/node_modules.

I would really like to get babel out of my build process and TS 2.1 finally implements ES5 async/await emit but this is a blocking issue before upgrading (I’ve also seen closed issues reporting the same problem without a solution eg. #11689)
