Cannot read property 'nativeNode' of undefined

We’re getting up and running with angular-hmr in our existing ng2 project but are experiencing a rather puzzling issue. Google has nothing to tell us on this matter. The error is as follows and I hope you can aid us in understanding why this is happening.

This behaviour occurs when we alter any code file in order to trigger a hot update.

[antontemchenko]

Had same error.

In hybrid application, downgraded (footer) component was registered twice in a module. So Angular throw this error, when tried to delete this component for second time

[antontemchenko]

Have the same error with hybrid app. Angular throws this error when app goes from the page that has downgraded component.

@antontemchenko were you able to fix that?

@Andrii-A As i wrote earlier, in my case this error showed up when downgraded component was registered twice. So looking for duplicated registration of the component in module and removing duplication resolved the problem.
