Error message "Angular build with --prod causes Uncaught TypeError: e is not a constructor when running ng serve"

I am encountering an issue while deploying my Angular application to production. The application functions correctly in development and had previously worked on production as well.

To build the application, I am using:

ng build --prod --base-href="/site/" 

The application is successfully built, but with the following warnings:

WARNING in ./src/app/eco-header/eco-header.component.ngfactory.js 138:299-319 "export 'MAT_ICON_LOCATION' (imported as 'i9') was not found in '@angular/material/icon'

WARNING in ./node_modules/@angular/material/dialog/typings/index.ngfactory.js 20:1247-1265 "export 'ScrollingModule' (imported as 'i7') was not found in '@angular/cdk/scrolling'

WARNING in ./node_modules/@angular/material/icon/typings/index.ngfactory.js 20:327-347 "export 'MAT_ICON_LOCATION' (imported as 'i1') was not found in '@angular/material/icon'

Upon attempting to load the page, I encounter the following error:

Any insights into why this issue is occurring?

Answer №1

After experimenting for a while, I finally uncovered a lingering issue within the angular cli.

View the bug report here

When running ng build --prod --base-href="/site/" --aot=false --build-optimizer=false

Temporarily, using

--aot=false --build-optimizer=false
seems to resolve the issue.

I will continue to update this post with any official information or solutions provided by the Angular team.

Answer №2

Recently, we encountered a similar problem that required us to remove all node modules and install them one by one. We found that after installing each node module, running 'ng build --prod' helped resolve the issue. This was particularly helpful in a project where we faced errors with the ngx password toggle node module.
