The problem is the flag --prod Without it the build/run is ok(but then the app takes too long to load).

[chrisbenseler]

Seems that the problem is the BrowserTestingModule. I added my spec files to the 'exclude' array in tsconfig.json "exclude": [ "node_modules", "*/spec*", "test", "src/test.ts" ]

ionic build android --prod is ok

[rajeevriitm]

@chrisbenseler Looks like the problem is coming from tests being included in compilation . But simply adding it to exclude is not working for me. It seems like ngc ignores it.

[rapropos]

@rajeevriitm ngc does not ignore tsconfig.json. You have to be very vigilant, though. A single test-related file that is not excluded will break the build.

[shawnlan]

I don't have test files, but still see the same issue. ionic start doesn't generate any test file, right?

[rapropos]

@shawnlan please double-check that you really have the same issue. Specifically, make sure that your error messages reference "BrowserTestingModule" as OPs do.

[shawnlan]

@rapropos I have this line build prod failed: Error encountered resolving symbol values statically. for sure. Before upgraded to Ionic 2.2.0 and app-scripts 1.1.4, building with --prod is fine.

[rapropos]

@shawnlan That is not necessarily the same issue. Please open a topic on the support forums. Your situation does not appear to be a framework bug, but rather a problem in your app.

[rajeevriitm]

@rapropos You were right. I did miss some some specs. Once that was included things are fine. This is how my tsconfig.josn looks.

  "exclude": [
    "node_modules","src/test.ts","src/**/*.spec.ts"
  ],

Thanks a lot man.

[shawnlan]

@rapropos I see. Changing an arrow function into an exported function in my app.module.ts solves my issue. Looks like ngc is strict about some things. What are they? Where can I find the documentations?

[danbucholtz]

@shawnlan,

Please review the angular documentation on ngc for any questions related to ngc. Things must be statically analyzable to be used by ngc.

Thanks, Dan
