Bundling for lazy loading is broken: No module factory available

[yfain]

After upgrading CLI to beta.24 my app that uses lazy loaded module started giving me errors during ng serve:

I downgraded CLI to beta.22-1 in devDependencies in package.json. The error remained the same.
After downgrading to beta.21 the ng serve and the app work fine again.

I'm going to have to ask you to fill in the issue template, complete with repro steps. There just isn't much I can figure out just by looking at that log.

[yfain]

To reproduce, download this project:
https://github.com/Farata/angular2typescript/tree/master/chapter3/cli_version/router-samples

ng serve builds a simple app with the lazy loading of one module (LuxuryModule), and it runs fine. Currently it uses Angular CLI beta.21. Change the version of Angular CLI to beta.24 in package.json and do npm install.

Try ng serve again, and you'll see this error.

I had same issue. To get it working I had to run it with npm start instead of ng serve

[hrvolapeter]

@viltsu this definitely isn't fix as npm start is just alias for ng serve, nothing more.

[ChrisProlls]

Same error for me. Any news ?

[yfain]

After reporting this issue I split the bootstrap code (main.ts) and the app.module.ts into separate files and this error was gone.
