Unexpected token < - missing file lib/angular2-modal/plugins/bootstrap.js

[snkrishnan1]

I am facing some issues in loading angular2-modal popup. Getting this exception "Unexpected token < - missing file lib/angular2-modal/plugins/bootstrap.js" After compiling when I try to launch the application, it is trying to evaluate the file in the path

"Evaluating http://localhost:49928/lib/angular2-modal/plugins/bootstrap.js"

But in the specified location no such file exists and hence the application is getting crashed. Under the lib/angular2-modal/plugins/ folder, bootstrap.js file doesn't exists. But why is it looking for this file here?

Error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
        at eval (<anonymous>)
        at Object.eval (http://localhost:49928/app/AppModule.js:13:19)

Any ideas why I am getting this error? Why it is looking for bootstrap.js file under angular2-modal folder?

Try version 3.0.0, use the UMD bundle directly not the module files.

[snkrishnan1]

Thanks for your reply. I have changed my systemjs.config.js file as per below and now it works. If I refer angular2-modal to 3.0.1 version, then I am facing the same issue as mentioned above. but version 2.0.2 seems to work fine. Any ideas why it is not working in 3.0.1 version?

    var routerVer = '@4.1.1'; // lock router version

    var angular2ModalVer = '@2.0.2';

This is a SysteJS configuration issue.

Personally I suggest moving to webpack...

For SystemJS configuration you can compare your setup to this plunker setup and see what's wrong.

As you can see, plunker is working so it is a configuration issue at your end... closing.
