Self is undefined in ts worker example (angular)

[raulvc]

any idea why self is udefined on this line:

const context: Worker = self as any;

on this file

adding webpack entries to compile it with ts-loader this is what I get in js:

"use strict";
Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
require("globals");
var context = self;
context.onmessage = function (msg) {
    setTimeout(function () {
        console.log("Inside TS worker...");
        global.postMessage("TS Worker");
    }, 500);
};

I've been following step by step the angular+webpack+ts guidelines and the demo and still haven't got it to work...
