compile errors when using AOT compiling with ng2-metadata

Hi @JochemKuijpers,

First of all I'd like to thank you for all the detailed information above, and also for accelerating testing of ng2-metadata: I was actually planning to test it nowadays using the latest angular (2.4.1) at the moment - so you gave me a chance for it :)

I cloned your repo derp, performed an npm install, ran ng build --aot, and I also got some compile errors, similar to yours:

ERROR in Error encountered resolving symbol values statically. Could not resolve ng2-metadata relative to C:/Users/fulls1z3/Source/Repos/derp/src/app/app.module.ts., resolving symbol AppModule in C:/Users/fulls1z3/Source/Repos/derp/src/app/app.module.ts, resolving symbol AppModule in C:/Users/fulls1z3/Source/Repos/derp/src/app/app.module.ts, resolving symbol AppModule in C:/Users/fulls1z3/Source/Repos/derp/src/app/app.module.ts

Then, I created a new ng project (using ng new derp2) using the latest angular-cli (1.0.0-beta.24) at the moment, and tested ng2-metadata. Results were good, I observed that aot build succeeded without errors:

C:\Users\fulls1z3\Source\Repos\derp2>ng build --aot
Hash: 12080e0862bf80ecb0ce
Time: 28073ms
chunk    {0} main.bundle.js, main.bundle.map (main) 33.3 kB {2} [initial] [rendered]
chunk    {1} styles.bundle.css, styles.bundle.map, styles.bundle.map (styles) 1.77 kB {3} [initial] [rendered]
chunk    {2} vendor.bundle.js, vendor.bundle.map (vendor) 1.7 MB [initial] [rendered]
chunk    {3} inline.bundle.js, inline.bundle.map (inline) 0 bytes [entry] [rendered]

Then I cleaned the node_modules dir of solution derp, fixed the dependencies according to derp2 and ran ng build --aot on derp and it failed again.

For that reason, I suggest you to have a look at the attached solution which has been built using the latest angular-cli and angular components, and let me know about the status.

Hope we will succeed with it!

I've adapted my project and copied the versions from the package.json in your zip archive. This indeed fixes the compiling error. Thanks, my issue is now resolved.

I'm having same issue with Angular 4.4.4 and ng2-metadata 2.0.1 :( With Aot compiler too.

Any ideas?

@tauciokas as seen as on npm ng2-metadata is no longer supported and has been deprecated. Please use the @ngx-meta/core package instead.
