Lazy load Angular 5 error: $$_lazy_route_resource lazy recursive

Question

I'm using angular cli AoT compilation. When I try to make a lazy load component following this tutorial, I got the error below:

ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: __webpack_require__.e is not a function

Here are part of my codes:

app-routing.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: 'listes', loadChildren: 'app/component/list/list.module#ListModule'}
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    RouterModule.forRoot(routes)
  ],
  declarations: [],
  exports: [ RouterModule ]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

list-routing.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

import { ListComponent } from './list.component';

const routes: Routes = [] = [
  { path: '', component: ListComponent }
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule.forChild(routes)],
  exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class ListRoutingModule { }

list.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';

import { ListRoutingModule } from './list-routing.module';

import { ListComponent } from './list.component';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    ListRoutingModule
  ],
  declarations: [ ListComponent ]
})
export class ListModule { }

app.module.ts

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

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HeaderComponent } from './component/header/header.component';
import { FooterComponent } from './component/footer/footer.component';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { DetailModule } from './component/detail/detail.module';
import { HomeComponent } from './component/home/home.component';


@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    HeaderComponent,
    FooterComponent,
    HomeComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

I already report it as an Angular-cli Issue. You can find it here.

Is there anyone who experienced with the same issue and found a solution for this?

Related bug: Angular 5 with Angular cli non-lazy loading modules in the router (Not solved yet).

Proposed solution: https://github.com/gdi2290/angular-starter/issues/1936:

{ path: 'listes', loadChildren: () => ListModule }
// it doesn't do lazy loading

Important information:

Angular cli: 1.7.0
Angular: 5.2.0

My regards

Answer 1

I got the same issue. I solve it Just stopping the cli server and start it. Error is gone if you done your code correctly.

Answer 2

I cloned and reproduced the issue using your posted GitHub code. In order to fix, your @angular/cli global and devDependencies packages must be at 1.7.2

npm remove -g @angular/cli
npm install -g @angular/[email protected]
npm remove @angular/cli
npm add @angular/[email protected] --save-dev

Now the @angular/cli package in your devDependencies matches the global version and it is set to 1.7.2 where that issue is resolved.

Answer 3

There is an open bug on angular-cli 1.7.x: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/9488#issuecomment-368871510

Downgrade to 1.6.8 solve the issue for me.

Answer 4

I got the same issue.fix it by using

 {path:'listes' ,loadChildren: ()=>ListModule} not {path:'listes' ,loadChildren: 'app/component/list/list.module#ListModule'}
