ng build fails when AOT is enabled

[jplatasv]

Hi,

I've noticed that using AOT to build the project makes the process fail:

jplatasv@hostname:~/someprojectpath$ ng build --target=production --environment=prod
Your global Angular CLI version (1.4.5) is greater than your local
version (1.4.3). The local Angular CLI version is used.

To disable this warning use "ng set --global warnings.versionMismatch=false".

This does not happen when AOT is disabled:

jplatasv@hostname:~/someprojectpath$ ng build --target=production --environment=prod --aot false

I've just tried myself

ng build --target=production --environment=prod

and had no errors

[VadimDez]

Do you still have this error?

Hi VadimDez,

We finally removed the component from the project. We haven't had the chance to deep test it. Sorry.

Thanks anyway for your feedback
