Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

Also getting this error, upgrading typescript seems to resolve it (although it might create other errors :/)

angular2-perfect-scrollbar is not publishing metadata, and so is not compatible with Angular CLI. I contacted our relation team and they'll contact that library.

[Oleg1969]

angular2-perfect-scrollbar is just one example , the are plenty modules like that. What you saying all of them will not be compatible with Angular CLI? What that means to us? We can not upgrade because of 3rd party modules simply will stop working. That is kind of odd path. Where would I find information about "publishing metadata" in context with CLI compatibility?

[hansl]

We are working in the future to show a warning for those. I also think it shouldn't be an error, but there are cases where an error can happen because of these libraries (routing for example) and these libraries are not AOT-compatible (at all!).

We have clear guidelines for libraries that include generating those files and what to publish to NPM. If libraries don't follow those guidelines we can't guarantee that they'll be compatible.

And yes, we have report of these a lot, and when I tell the relation team they are actually efficient in dealing with those. So there's hope.

[loicsalou]

please provide a link to your clear guidelines about publishing compatible library, I'm trying to make one and I'd like it to be compatible.

[antoineabourjeilycme]

@hansl I'm having the same problem with Angular-Datatables. is there anything we can do ourselves? or should we always wait for the 3rd party libraries to publish metadata.
Where can I find more about the metadata you're talking about?
