webpack.aot.js

new AotPlugin({
                tsConfigPath: helpers.root('tsconfig.aot.json'),
                entryModule: helpers.rootAngular('app/app.module#AppModule'),
                skipCodeGeneration:true
            }),

The log given by the failure.

no error,but generate file size(app.js 6067kb) is same for aot and jit,so i think @ngtools/webpack not work?

Mention any other details that might be useful.

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

skipCodeGeneration:true means you will not generate AoT code. Are you setting this to false for AoT runs?

[keyiis]

@filipesilva if set skipCodeGeneration:false get below error

That's a different problem though, and the real reason why you can't get size reductions. @hansl do you know the cause of that error?

[keyiis]

@filipesilva the error means i need set "genDir":"some path" in "angularCompilerOptions"?
my project use template: require('./component.html'),if set skipCodeGeneration:false,i need change all template:require('...') to templateUrl:'....',has some simple way fix the problem?

[keyiis]

@filipesilva @hansl after i change all template:require('...') to templateUrl:'....',the error disappears,but generate file size(4126KB after minify) big than use jit.

[keyiis]

@filipesilva @hansl can give me some pointers?

[keyiis]

@filipesilva @hansl still get big size bund file

[filipesilva]

@keyiis you have to wait for a release to get the latest version. The PR fixing this has been merged but not released to npm yet.

[keyiis]

@filipesilva i already update @ngtools/webpack & @angular/cli to last version,but aot still not work!
