ERROR in InfiniteScrollModule is not an NgModule

[cdibbs]

The app appears to build correctly, but then gives this error message:

ERROR in InfiniteScrollModule is not an NgModule

I was using Angular 2.4.3. The error persisted after upgrading 4.0.2. I am using Angular CLI @ 1.0.0.

It happens for me on 4.0.0 too

When you create AoT build the error message is more specific

ERROR in Unexpected value 'InfiniteScrollModule in /project/node_modules/ngx-infinite-scroll/index.d.ts' imported by the module 'SharedModule in /project/shared/shared.module.ts'. Please add a @NgModule annotation.

Could be related to angular/angular#15763

It happens the same for me. I have Angular CLI v1.0.0 and Angular v4.0.1.

as a reference - this issue is reported for various reasons here:
angular/angular-cli#3426

I've tried 2 propositions found on angular/angular-cli#3426 :

• delete node_modules => npm cache clear => npm install
• two consecutive "ng serve", since several people mentioned it worked for them (error at the first, then compilation ok at the second)

None (or both consecutively) worked for me.

@cdibbs , @irsick , @guenam , @borferpa
please try this beta version 0.4.1-7:
npm i ngx-infinite-scroll@0.4.1-7

[cdibbs]

That fixed it! What did you do?

[orizens]

@cdibbs I renamed the main module file from index.ts to ngx-infinite-scroll.module.ts and removed the "ngzone" from the tsconfig "files" setting.
I also tried more changes, but i think that was mainly the main issue.

[cdibbs]

I wanted to understand, so I narrowed it down using a local copy of the repo. I repeated what you described, but did only the rename. That worked.

I was also able to leave it as index.ts, but did:

export * from './modules/index';

and after that

export { InfiniteScrollModule } from './modules/index';

Those worked, too. So, it's only the export from the implicitly-specified barrel file that was causing this.

Anyway, thanks for the fast turnaround!

It worked for me too. Thanks for the super quick fix!

[borferpa]

It works also for me. Thanks so much @orizens for your speed.
