ng build -prod app stuck on loading screen

1. OS? Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). Mac OSX (Yosemite? El Capitan?) Mac El Capitan
2. Versions.

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.5
node: 5.11.1
os: darwin x64

1. Repro steps. Was this an app that wasn’t created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc.

I have a component and in the file I do:

import { chartViewProvider } from '../shared/chartview.service';
@Component({
  ...,
  providers: [
    chartViewProvider
  ]
})

in chartview.service file

export let chartViewFactory = (service: IResearchService, obj: any): any => {
    ... return new object
  }
};

export let chartViewProvider = provide(CHARTVIEW, {
  useFactory: () => chartViewFactory
});

Where CHARTVIEW and ChartView are:

import { OpaqueToken } from '@angular/core';
import { IResearchService } from './research.service.interface';

export let CHARTVIEW = new OpaqueToken('ChartView');

export interface ChartView {
  id: number | string;
  name: string;
  render(region: string, fromdate: string, todate: string, xCategories?: Array<string>): void;
}

Basically trying to use https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/dependency-injection.html guide for factory provider.

If I do ng serve the app works perfectly. If I do ng serve -prod the app shows the loading screen and it never loads. If I comment out

 providers: [
   // chartViewProvider
  ]

and then ng serve -prod the app works fine.

1. The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

There is literally no error message either in the terminal or in the console.

Thanks for any help.

I had the same issue and could solve it by manually changing <base href="/"> to <base href="./"> in my index.html. (Working on Windows)

@filipesilva yes, I included ng2-bootstrap and along with it momentjs… I will try changing the package format as suggested in your answer in #951 first thing tomorrow morning and let you know if this helps.
