Repro steps.

Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc.

If I run ng build --aot it throws an error after it logs the bundles that were created.

The log given by the failure.

Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

It looks like the real error is ERROR in providers.forEach is not a function when then breaks the AoT'd app.module. Can you show me the code of ./src/app/app.module.ts?

[rolandjitsu]

Yes I can:

import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';

/**
 * Feature Modules
 */
import {CoreModule, PreloadSelectedModulesOnly} from './core';
import {SharedModule} from './shared/shared.module';

/**
 * Components
 */
import {AppComponent} from './app.component';
import {LayoutComponent} from './layout/layout.component';
import {HomeComponent} from './home/home.component';
import {NotificationsComponent} from './notifications/notifications.component';
import {RecipesComponent} from './recipes/recipes.component';
import {AccountComponent} from './account/account.component';
import {SettingsComponent} from './settings/settings.component';
import {ErrorComponent} from './error/error.component';

/**
 * Routing
 */
import {routing} from './app.routing';


@NgModule({
	imports: [
		BrowserModule,
		// Routing
		routing,
		// Features/Shared
		SharedModule.forRoot(),
		CoreModule.forRoot()
	],
	providers: [PreloadSelectedModulesOnly],
	declarations: [
		AppComponent,
		LayoutComponent,
		HomeComponent,
		NotificationsComponent,
		RecipesComponent,
		AccountComponent,
		SettingsComponent,
		ErrorComponent
	],
	// A list of components that can be bootstrapped.
	// Usually there is only one component in this list,
	// the root component of the application.
	bootstrap: [
		AppComponent
	]
})
export class AppModule {}

Could you show your angular-cli.json ?
is app.assets an array ?

[rolandjitsu]

@Shinzah It is an array, yes. But I cannot see how that would have any impact on AOT.

I do know that I get an error if I add a folder or file that does not exist in the {apps: [{assets: []}]}, but as I said previously, it's a completely different error.

[Splaktar]

I get the same thing but without the ERROR in providers.forEach is not a function and no other message in its place.

[rolandjitsu]

I found the issue. It seems like AOT does not like:

const providers = [];

if (someCondition) {
    providers.push({ ...some object });
}

@NgModule({
    providers
})
export class TestModule {}

But it works with:

const providers = [];

if (someCondition) {
    providers.push({ ...some object });
}

@NgModule({
    providers: [
        ...providers
    ]
})
export class TestModule {}
