App started using angular cli

The log given by the failure.

This is from my command line:

ERROR in Unexpected value ‘null’ declared by the module ‘AppModule in C:/Users/T haniri/Desktop/freecodecamp/myroute/src/app/app.module.ts’

ERROR in ./src/main.ts Module not found: Error: Can’t resolve ‘./$$_gendir/app/app.module.ngfactory’ in ‘C:\Users\Thaniri\Desktop\freecodecamp\myroute\src’ @ ./src/main.ts 3:0-74 @ multi ./src/main.ts

Mention any other details that might be useful.

ng serve works fine, its just ng build -prod

Here are the contents of my main.ts file: `import { platformBrowserDynamic } from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic’; import { enableProdMode } from ‘@angular/core’; import { environment } from ‘./environments/environment’; import { AppModule } from ‘./app/app.module’;

if (environment.production) { enableProdMode(); }

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule); `

If there is more information needed, please let me know. I am trying to learn how to deploy my Angular website.

Instead of use ng build --prod use ng build --env=prod

UPDATE

As many of us (thx) have mention, this doesn’t build with aot so, it’s the same that the plain ng build at the end (as says @adessilly ng build --env=prod : replace environment.ts by environment.prod.ts, but it’s a simple ng build. ng build --prod : improved build with aot + environment.prod.ts replacement (before, it was ng build --prod --aot) )

The most easy workaround (at least for me), was to create a new whole project with the last Angular CLI version, and moves the src folder. It’s no straight forward, so please read the migration guide and don’t forget to make a backup before.

Similar problem with 1.0.0-rc1 on Windows. Running ng build --prod gives

ERROR in Error encountered resolving symbol values statically. Could not resolve events relative to C:/Projects/craft-ng/editor/node_modules/blocking-proxy/built/lib/webdriver_commands.d.ts., resolving symbol WebDriverCommand in C:/Projects/craft-ng/editor/node_modules/blocking-proxy/built/lib/webdriver_commands.d.ts

ng build --prod --aot=false executes without problems.
