Current behavior it is working fine if build it using ng serve and ng build --prod. But I am facing issues when I build it for server side rendering with angular universal. I am using following commands to build

npm run build:ssr

ERROR in ./dist/server/main.js Module not found: Error: Can’t resolve ‘.’ in ‘C:\Users\me\Desktop\example\dist\server’ @ ./dist/server/main.js 96:17-29 @ ./server.ts

npm run serve:ssr

example@0.0.0 serve:ssr C:\Users\me\Desktop\example node dist/server

C:\Users\me\Desktop\example\dist\server.js:54955 module.exports = webpack_require(!(function webpackMissingModule() { var e = new Error(“Cannot find module ‘.’”); e.code = ‘MODULE_NOT_FOUND’; throw e; }())); ^

Expected behavior Create ssr build without errors.

Reproduction of the problem I have created a test project to reproduce the issue. Following is the github link. https://github.com/Muhammad-Soban/ngx-datatable-ssr-issue.git
