Angular 5 TypeError: AngularCompilerPlugin is not a constructor

Question

Angular 5 aspnetcore 2.0 is my environment.

And I updated my packages to angular 5 and replace AotPlugin to AngularCompilerPlugin in webpack.config.js. while publishing my project, I'm getting this error.

 TypeError: AngularCompilerPlugin is not a constructor

So I revoked this changes and restored AotPlugin in webpack.config.js now my publish got success.

Actually for angular 5 AngularCompilerPlugin used instead of AotPlugin. so my question is did I miss something? what I did wrong here?.

webpack.config.js

const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
const merge = require('webpack-merge');
const AngularCompilerPlugin = require('@ngtools/webpack').AngularCompilerPlugin ;
const CheckerPlugin = require('awesome-typescript-loader').CheckerPlugin;

module.exports = (env) => {

    const isDevBuild = !(env && env.prod);
    const sharedConfig = {

As I check while publishing it not taking the updated versions. what would be the reason?

Hard to tell without seeing your webpack.config.

This is the way I prefer:

const AotPlugin = require('@ngtools/webpack').AngularCompilerPlugin;

plugins: [
        new AotPlugin({
            tsConfigPath: './tsconfig.json',
            entryModule: path.join(__dirname, 'src/app/app.module#AppModule')
        })
]

nothing much to show I just replace all AotPlugin to AngularCompilerPlugin in webpack.config rest all remain unchange.

Michael Kang Over a year ago

Hard to guess what the original looked like:)

k11k2 Over a year ago

I tried above one still no luck. throwing same error.

Michael Kang Over a year ago

What version of @angular/compiler-cli?

k11k2 Over a year ago

just now I found weird one: my dependencies in npm folder all are revert to 4.2.5. how does it happen ? initally I updated all the pavkages run the app checked ther version it is in 5.0.5. later after webapck changes again revert to old versions.

I have changed version numbers 4.2.x to 5.0.x manually in package.json so it not reflect in package-lock.json, while publishing it taking package-lock.json as consideration in this case I got above error cause angular 4.2 not supports AngularCompilerPlugin. npm >5 version allow me to update both package.json and package-lock.json at a time.
