Versions.

@angular/cli: 1.0.0
node: 6.10.2
os: darwin x64

Repro steps.

ng new my-project
cd my-project
ng g module my-component
ng g component my-component
touch index.ts

Create module in index.ts:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { MyComponentModule } from './src/app/my-component/my-component.module';

@NgModule({
  imports: [ MyComponentModule ],
  exports: [ MyComponentModule ]
})
class MyPublishModule {
}

Import index.ts module in src/app/app.module.ts:

...
import { MyPublishModule } from '../../';

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    ...
    MyPublishModule
  ]
  ...
})
...

Now ng serve works fine, but ng build --prod does not; it fails with this error:

ERROR in /Users/elclanrs/Documents/my-project/src/$$_gendir/index.ngfactory.ts
 (1,1): Cannot find module './index'.
/Users/elclanrs/Documents/my-project/src/$$_gendir/index.ngfactory.ts (1,1): C
annot find module './src/app/my-component/my-component.module'.

This worked fine before v1.0.0 in Angular 2.4. If I move the index.ts module to src/index.ts and adjust the paths, then it works.

Also, ngc doesn't complain. Any ideas what changed that caused this issue?

How about a set of tests that assert CLI can handle various cases that NGC an handle? Should CLI be able to handle any input that NGC handles?

The problem in the repo above seems to be that MyPublishModule is not exported.

Changing class MyPublishModule to export class MyPublishModule results in the application to be compiled successfully.

If the problem persists please open a new issue, provide a simple repository reproducing the problem, and describe the difference between the expected and current behavior.
