Receiving the same error after following this post: https://medium.com/@evertonrobertoauler/angular-4-universal-app-with-angular-cli-db8b53bba07d

Yeap! The same error as here!

If i run "ng build" works fine, but when run "ng build --prod" it happens this error

FYI, add this to your package.json dependencies: "enhanced-resolve": "3.3.0", and delete the node_modules folder, after that run npm install again.

@suau thanks for reply but it didn't help in my case, I tried enhanced-resolve 3.3.0 (and 3.4.1) with and without deleting node_modules

[suau]

@ahaw try updating to "@angular/cli": "1.2.4"

• do NOT use enhanced-resolve 3.4.1, stick to 3.3.0
• DO definitely delete node_modules
• if you are using npm 5, check for a package-lock.json and delete it before running npm install
• if you are using yarn, delete the yarn lock file

after npm install go to node_modules/enhanced-resolve/package.json and make sure it's version 3.3.0

@suau Thanks! It worked. The problem was no matter how I modified packages.json enchanced-resolve in version 3.4.1 was installed. I needed to delete it and manually type

npm install enhanced-resolve@3.3.0

This was fixed by the @angular/cli or the webpack folks, just update it by running npm install -g @angular/cli, remove the node_module in the project and install the dependencies again and everything will work again.
