@vovikdrg are you including the dist folder in the typescript compilation by any chance ie, adding it in the tsconfig.json?

It would be great if you can you setup a minimal repro please?

You can read here why this is needed. A good way to make a minimal repro is to create a new app via ng new repro-app and adding the minimum possible code to show the problem. Then you can push this repository to github and link it here.

This might be related to your directory structure so its really important to get an accurate repro to diagnose this.
