I'm submitting a ... [x] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] question about the decisions made in the repository
Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? I did a fresh checkout of angular2-webpack-starter, but it will NOT build properly with an error I cannot easily solve.
What is the current behavior? I did a git checkout i did npm install

Then when I run npm start I get errors:

npm start

I am building on OSX with npm: 3.10.9 and node 7.2.1

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem via https://plnkr.co or similar (you can use this template as a starting point: http://plnkr.co/edit/tpl:AvJOMERrnz94ekVua0u5).
What is the expected behavior?
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Please tell us about your environment:
Angular version: 2.0.0-beta.X
Browser: [all | Chrome XX | Firefox XX | IE XX | Safari XX | Mobile Chrome XX | Android X.X Web Browser | iOS XX Safari | iOS XX UIWebView | iOS XX WKWebView ]
Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stacktraces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. stackoverflow, gitter, etc)

I am having the same issue. I have tried it with node version 7.2.1 ,6.9 and 6.3.1.

Same issue . node version 6.9.1 , npm version 4.0.3

Seems like it is not a problem with webpack-starter but with ts 2.1.4. Relevant issue on awesome-typescript-loader repo

This boilerplate seems to work with pinned 2.1.1 v typescript

TypeScript is pinned in master to the latest working version. Keeping this issue open until we can pick up a 2.1.4 compliant version of awesome-typescript-loader

After googling this for a bit, I found this: https://github.com/s-panferov/awesome-typescript-loader/issues/190 - for me, clearing cache and changing package.json's typescript dependency from "^2.0.6" to "2.0.10" worked. The app builds and runs now.

In addition to @d3viant0ne 's commit of 9-Dec, I had to set "@angular/forms": "2.2.1" (use to be ^2.2.1, which brought me v2.3.0). As I forked angular2-webpack-starter before that commit of 23-Nov, it was ^2.2.1 just for the @angular/forms.

So my full fix was:

Modified package.json to set:

"typescript": "2.1.1" (use to be ^2.0.6, which brought me v2.1.4)
"@angular/forms": "2.2.1" (use to be ^2.2.1, which brought me v2.3.0, when other @angular/ were 2.2.1). As an alternative, you can make them all ^2.2.1 and it will work again as all @angular/ versions will be aligned.

Deleted corresponding folders in node_modules and ran npm install. For some reason, running npm install straight away didn't work (something was cached?).

Can confirm, modifiying my package.json to "typescript": "2.1.1" resolved the issue. I'm using "awesome-typescript-loader": "2.2.4" for my angular 2.3.0 project.

After modifying the package.json, I deleted the node_modules folder then ran npm cache clean and finally npm install. All is working fine now.

@dannypule and the same for me:

I have found what causes this problem in my case: If I understand correctly, they filter out the character ! from path, but ! is legal character in Windows path. https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/3529#issuecomment-266737336

Pinning typescript to v2.1.1 in package.json worked for me too. Thanks.

So started with ng-book2 for Angular and cannot even do the App Works! because of this stuff

Pinning typescript to v2.1.1 didn't help me. My error is as following:

Versions:

npm -v: 3.10.8
node -v: 6.7.0

It worked for me by pinning typescript to 2.1.1 in package.json with node 5.6.0 and npm 3.6.0.

change typescript version to 2.1.1 or 2.0.10 in package.json. It worked for me node 6.9.4 and npm 4.0.5
