CLI removes tns_modules in platforms

[petekanev]

After the prepare-hook is executed the tns_modules folder is completely wiped from platforms/../src/main/assets/app where non-js files, xmls, and image resources may reside.

We can consider removing all .js files in tns_modules thus leaving just the resources that may be referred to from the javascript during runtime, and also leave bundle.js, and tns-java-classes in addition when building for android.

An alternative solution to this problem would be to provide webpack loaders for known resource types, so that those get bundled as well.

What's the specific case here? Do we have a sample app that needs to reference something from tns_modules?

I am running into what I believe is a similar issue. When I run the app without the bundle it works just fine. After adding webpack and running the app, I get the following error:

Could not find module 'data/observable'. Computed path '/Users/George/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/FFF2D358-AC9C-46B1-8200-8E367588D9A3/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/9CB23FDF-570A-4646-BB92-72F09B5FB50D/sample.app/app/tns_modules/data/observable'

P.S: I am not using angular2

I have same either i got error on data/observable or application missing in tns_modules folder even on newly created app and bundled i get error but not sure if this is same issue or its something as for new issue

I believe it's the same error since I saw the same application error that you mentioned as well. I did a rm -rf tns_modules and then tns install but nothing helped.
