Repro steps

Let me give you some background.

I have an Angular CLI based project with Universal enabled.

In my project I have main.ts which import AppBrowserModule from app.browser.module.ts

and

In my project I have main.server.ts which import AppServerModule from app.server.module.ts

I also have a shared module and both AppBrowserModule and AppServerModule import this module.

I want to enable Server Side Rendering for a portion of my app. so I have added two different routing modules one for server and other for browser.

AppServerModule imports AppServerRoutingModule and AppBrowserModule imports AppBrowserRoutingModule.

I have below server app added to my .angular-cli.json file.

    {
      "name": "ssr",
      "root": "src",
      "outDir": "dist-server",
      "assets": [
        "assets"
      ],
      "main": "main.server.ts",
      "tsconfig": "tsconfig.app-ssr.json",
      "prefix": "app",
      "scripts": [],
      "environmentSource": "environments/environment.ts",
      "environments": {
        "dev": "environments/environment.ts",
        "prod": "environments/environment.prod.ts"
      },
      "platform": "server"
    }

Below are the contents of my tsconfig.app-ssr.json.

{
    "extends": "../tsconfig.json",
    "compilerOptions": {
      "baseUrl": "./",
      "module": "commonjs"
    },
    "angularCompilerOptions": {
      "entryModule": "app/app.server.module#AppServerModule"
    }
}

As per my understanding, if I generate server bundles through command ng build --prod --app 1 --output-hashing=false, it should start from AppServerModule and recursively process files referenced in this module. As a result the server bundle should not have the modules that are referenced in AppBrowserRoutingModule but not in AppServerRoutingModule .

But it does’t seem to work this way, cli is adding all modules in server bundle, even those that doesn’t have any reference in main.server, app.server.modules or AppServerRoutingModule.
