Error with angular-cli and AoT

[FallenRiteMonk]

I get the following error when i try to build/serve my project using angular-cli beta 16 and ng2-tag-input module version 0.3.4 with the --aot option:

Error encountered resolving symbol values statically. Calling function 'require', function calls are not supported. Consider replacing the function or lambda with a reference to an exported function, resolving symbol TagInputModule in <PROJECT_PATH>/node_modules/ng2-tag-input/index.ts, resolving symbol <MODULE_NAME> in <MODULE_TS_FILE_PATH>, resolving symbol <MODULE_NAME> in <MODULE_TS_FILE_PATH>

I still cant test if it completely works due to some other problems i have, but i found this! maybe have a look at it:

With the same circumstances, I get this error message:
Error: Unexpected value 'TagInputModule' imported by the module 'SharedModule'

Just updated to the new version of angular-cli (beta.20-4) in the hope to be finally able to use aot, but i get the exact same error:
Error: Unexpected value 'TagInputModule' imported by the module 'MODULE_NAME'

Not sure in how far this can help, but I found this angular/angular-cli#2763 (comment).
As far as I can understand it has something to do with the awesome-typescript-loader, but according to this disscussion angular/angular-cli#1980 (comment), it might happen that angular-cli will remove it in favor of ts-loader and this problem might then be solved automatically.

Have a look at it and let me know what you think.

According to this thread the package would need to be compiled by ngc first in order to generate a required index.metadata.json file.

Hi,

the library should be working with AOT now. Please reopen if still an issue (and sorry for the huge delay, I just found some time as am on holidays)
