Unable to build aot

[vatsalpande]

Hi,

Not sure if I am missing anything, but I just downloaded the project, did npm install and executed

npm run build:aot

It gives me an error saying

Can't resolve '../aot/app/app.module.ngfactory'

I am definitely missing something. Can you please help?

Thanks,
Vatsal

I am also getting this issue. Is it connected with angular/angular-cli#7540?

I fixed it by following:
angular/angular-cli#7113.

I bumped:
"webpack": "3.3.x"
"@ngtools/webpack": "1.6.2"
I added to dependencies:
"enhanced-resolve": "3.3.0"
