Lazy loading not working

[StasD]

Hello,

So, are you saying that when you run "npm run build-prod" for this project, it actually produces a separate chunk for the PrivateModule module? Because I cloned it to check just that, and this does not work for me...

I was just trying to get lazy loading with AoT work for my project, so far without success (that is, no additional chunks), so I found this your project, but as I said, I'm getting the very same result: no chunks for lazy loaded modules... Very weird...

Using macOS Sierra here with Node v6.10.3. Everything else seems to be coming from "npm install".

Hi there. Thanks for trying this out.

tl; dr;

Comment out the part using ContextReplacementPlugin in webpack.config.prod.js

Full story

This project is an attempt to hit that target, so having lazy loaded modules working with ngtools/webpack AOT build.

We hit some roadblocks, mainly with ngtools/webpack issues. The last one is tracked by this couple of issues in angular-cli project:

• Using @ngtools/webpack with ContextReplacementPlugin plugin does not create lazy routes chunks angular/angular-cli#4431
• Runtime error "Cannot find module ...ngfactory" for lazy module with @ngtools/webpack 1.3.3 angular/angular-cli#6518 (closed for now, but maybe it should be reopened)

The workaround for now, as suggested by angular-cli people, is to comment out that plugin. Actually we're going to update this project with that workaround shortly.

HTH
