[BUG] Unhandled rejection when running script

Overview of the issue

I run the script with compodoc -p src/tsconfig.app.json -s --theme material

then during execution, and after successfully parsing several files, I get

Note: I have replaced full project path with [project].

Operating System, Node.js, npm, compodoc version(s)

OS: Windows 10, x64 (using PowerShell) Compodoc: 1.1.5 Node: 8.9.4 NPM: 5.6.0 Angular: 6.0.3

Angular configuration, a package.json file in the root folder

I’m not sure wether you need angular.json or package.json…?

Compodoc installed globally or locally ?

Installed compodoc locally to project with npm i --save-dev @compodoc/compodoc

If possible your terminal logs before the error

Last log before error:

parsing: [project]/src/app/groups/groups-routing.module.ts
Analysing routes definitions and clean them if necessary

This is the content of the file groups-routing.module.ts:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { GroupHandlerComponent } from './handlers/group-handler/group-handler.component';
import { ResolveGroup, GroupsService } from './services/groups.service';

const routes: Routes = [
	{
		path: '',
		component: GroupHandlerComponent,
		resolve: { content: GroupsService },
		data: { needs: ResolveGroup.multiple }
	},
	{
		path: ':groupid',
		component: GroupHandlerComponent,
		resolve: { content: GroupsService },
		data: { needs: ResolveGroup.single }
	}
];

@NgModule({
	imports: [RouterModule.forChild(routes)],
	exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class GroupsRoutingModule {}

Reproduce the error

Run compodoc -p src/tsconfig.app.json -s --theme material

Hi I had the same issue, i just removed the typing (export const routes: Routes = [] to export const routes = []) and it’s worked

I’m experiencing this too. Would be nice if I didn’t have to un-type my routes in order to generate docs 🙂
