Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc.
My question is here:

Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

There seems to be a possible clue here,

We don't currently support multiple app projects. You might not consider files outside of src to be a different project, but as far as the scope of the project is concerned they are.

If you want to add a reusable piece of code, consider adding it as a npm package. You don't need to upload it to npm, you can do npm install ../path/to/project/folder. You'll have to compile it using ngc and expose the AoT metadata though.
