Type Error Cannot set property '_minWidth' of undefined - pdfmake, Angular 2

I am trying to add widths to my table but for some reason I get below error:

Issue line

widths: ['auto', 'auto', 'auto', 'auto'],

My Doc Definition

var docDefinition = {
        content: [
            {text: 'Section A: Facilities and Ambience', style: 'sectionStyling'},
            {
                style: 'tableExample',
                table: {
                    widths: ['auto', 'auto', 'auto', 'auto'],
                    body: [
                        ['col1', 'col2', 'col3', 'col4', 'col5'],
                        ['some text', '1', '1', '100%', '-'],
                        ['some text', '1', '1', '100%', '-'],
                        ['some text', '1', '1', '100%', '-'],
                        ['some text', '1', '1', '100%', '-'],
                        ['some text', '1', '1', '100%', '-'],
                        ['some text', '1', '1', '100%', '-'],
                        ['some text', '1', '1', '100%', '-'],
                        ['some text', '1', '1', '100%', '-']
                    ]
                }
            }
        ],
        background: function () {
            return [
                {
                    image: 'watermark',
                    width: 200,
                    alignment : 'center',
                    margin: [0, 325, 0, 0]
                }
            ];
        },
        images: {
            watermark: 'data:image/base64....'
        },
        styles: {
            sectionStyling: {
                fontSize: 18,
                color: 'blue',
                bold: true,
                alignment: 'right',
                margin: [0, 190, 0, 80]
            },
            subheader: {
                fontSize: 14
            },
            superMargin: {
                margin: [20, 0, 40, 0],
                fontSize: 15
            }
        },
        defaultStyle: {
            alignment: 'justify'
        }
    };

I tried (none of the below work):

widths: ['auto', 'auto', 'auto', 'auto'],
widths: ['auto', 'auto', 'auto'],
widths: [100, '*', 200, '*'],


It works if I just remove the widths line.

You have five columns but are setting only four widths. Try setting the width for all of them:

widths: ['auto', 'auto', 'auto', 'auto', 'auto'];
