Desired functionality

No errors

Details: This started when Angular 7 was released. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find much information about this issue. Neither on Stackoverflow nor in the issue trackers. Well at least not since the release of Angular 7

Getting the same error with angular-cli 8.3.0 trying to set up angular universal.

First step in the guide says to run:

ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject <angular-project>

Doing that seems to install @nguniversal/express-engine properly, but then I get:

Cannot read property 'kind' of undefined

@harshsyno The problem is, this still happens when I tried adding my old components/modules to a completely new project using the latest angular-cli 😐

Still having this issue. It’s so annoying
