ng build or ng build --environment prod works, but ng build --prod or ng build --aot fails

[catull]

Versions

ng version: 1.7.3
node version: 9.8.0
OS: macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra)

Repro steps

git clone [email protected]:catull/bootstraping-ngx-admin-lte.git
cd bootstraping-ngx-admin-lte
git checkout upgrade-dependencies
npm install

These work

ng build
ng build --environment prod

These fail

ng build --prod
ng build --aot

Observed behaviour

Non-prod and non-AOT build is fine.

Desired behaviour

Would like to benefit from AOT build

Thanks!

If you want the full --prod behaviour, I found out that the longer form --target=production still works while they fix the problem with the former: #9914 (comment).

@pascallaprade-beslogic Thanks for sharing that link... I'm closing this issue.

Duplicate of #9914
