Could you send us a demo app on which we will be able to reproduce this problem? We tried to reproduce it on our end but without success. You can send it to a.idzikowski@mdbootstrap.com.
It looks like there is a problem with Angular CLI, we didn't make any breaking changes in the library recently. Please downgrade the versions of this packages to:
"@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~0.802.0",
"@angular/cli": "~8.2.2",
hi, I reinstalled @anguler/cli after deleting it before and changed the packages.json but I still cannot I get it work
I did I ng --version and its says I have the right ones.
I cannot send the images in a comment so I have to write it as a comment to the post, maybe something to add for the future.
I am having the same issue at the moment
ERROR in Illegal State: referring to a type without a variable {"filePath":"C:/Source/RedTie/RedTie.Platform/RedTie.Web/node_modules/ng-uikit-pro-standard/ng-uikit-pro-standard.d.ts","name":"WavesDirective","members":[]}
when building without --prod I get
ERROR in No NgModule metadata found for 'AssetModule'.

I downgraded to 8.2.2 but get the same results
Please try to downgrade the packages versions, remove node_modules and package-lock.json and run npm install command again. Just to make sure that npm didn't cache the previous version.

I deleted the package-lock.json, node_modules. I checked again to have to right versions you said to have and did "npm install" but I stil get the error when doing "ng build --prod"

So I took my project, made a copy, and removed all my code other than the main app component. The app built. I then added my folders back in one by one until it broke.
Turns out, in one of my routes file, I had an issue where I was referring to a Lazy Loaded module which was incorrect. The error pointing to MDB I think is a red herring. I would try do what I did to find out which portion of your code is breaking it.

@mistergheraille That's really strange because downgrading these packages helped when I was debuggin this problem on the demo project you sent to me. We will take a closer look at that again and focus on modules imports.

@Arkadiusz Idzikowski thank you, if you find a fix for the problem let me know and if you could also send the project back via email, just in case i did something wrong when trying to fix.
Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 5 years ago
@mistergheraille I sent you the project with updated dependencies. Please let me know if it works for you.
In case of any further problems please try different versions of angular/cli and angular/compiler-cli. Unfortunately we didn't find the cause of this problem yet. The error message doesn't provide us with useful information.

How can we reproduce that? Do you use MDB Angular free version (angular-bootstrap-md)?
Please paste here the content of your package.json, app.module (or any other main module in which you import MDB modules) and angular.json.
