Ionic 2 build dev failed: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Question

I cant build my ionic 2 App. Serving works after changing a file.

On ionic serve, I get the following error message:

[07:36:10]  ionic-app-scripts 1.0.0 
[07:36:10]  watch started ... 
[07:36:10]  build dev started ... 
[07:36:10]  clean started ... 
[07:36:10]  clean finished in 1 ms 
[07:36:10]  copy started ... 
[07:36:10]  transpile started ... 
[07:36:15]  build dev failed: Maximum call stack size exceeded 
[07:36:15]  dev server running: http://localhost:8100/ 

Then when I change a *.ts file the app is built and can be used

[07:37:32]  build started ... 
[07:37:32]  transpile started ... 
[07:37:39]  build finished in 6.81 s 

When I run ionic build the following error message is displayed:

[07:40:40]  transpile started ... 
[07:40:44]  build dev failed: Maximum call stack size exceeded 
[07:40:44]  ionic-app-script task: "build"

seems to be a TypeScript transpiler bug

https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/2997

Apparently can occurs on things like this

public parent: Module | Class;

check for such union type usages, or upgrade your typescript to newer version like 2.4.*
