Repro steps

• ng new test-app
• cd test-app
• ng build --stats-json
• npx webpack-bundle-analyzer ./dist/test-app/stats.json

Observed behavior

Desired behavior

File should be parsed by the analyzer.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

Another place where it’s broken:

• Upload the file dist/test-app/stats.json to https://webpack.github.io/analyse/

• The file does not get parsed by https://webpack.github.io/analyse/

• An error appears in the console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'sort' of undefined
    at r (web.js:1)
    at Object.e.load (web.js:1)
    at FileReader.e.onload (8.568a26e05565c8025a86.js:1)

I confirm. Same problem. Webpack bundle analyzer not working in Angular 6

Thanks @tmakin - confirmed it works:

npx webpack-bundle-analyzer@latest ./dist/test-app/stats.json

Or just install the latest version globally:

npm i -g webpack-bundle-analyzer@latest

Probably good to keep the issue open until webpack.github.io/analyse works too.
