The log given by the failure.

As a forewarning, we are moving the CLI npm package to "@angular/cli" with the next release,
which will only support Node 6.9 and greater. This package will be officially deprecated
shortly after.

To disable this warning use "ng set --global warnings.packageDeprecation=false".
Version of @angular/compiler-cli needs to be 2.3.1 or greater. Current version is "undefined".

... etc ...

Desired functionality.

Our build tool cannot crash out of the blue, having changed nothing at all in our code or configurations. Running npm install with specific versions listed for every package in the package.json should not crash the build machine, and every machine of every developer unfortunate enough to have run "npm install" locally.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

[clydin]

The project needs a dev dependency for @angular/compiler-cli.
npm install --save-dev @angular/compiler-cli@<your angular version>

[manatax]

Thank you @clydin That was correct. I migrated angular-cli from beta to rc.0 and this step was not part of the steps.

[cycchow]

any update? i am facing the same issues.

[glorment]

any update ? i also have the same issues

[manatax]

yes, follow @clydin 's response...

[cycchow]

but right now i am using angular-cli v1.0.0-beta.17, and i found that the @ngtools/webpack requires 2.3.1. i have tried to upgrade the cli to a higher version, it will throw plenty of exceptions. i just wanna stick with the ready to build version, rather than upgrade all the version.

[cycchow]

here is my package.json

[cycchow]

the root problem is 1.0.0-beta.17 angular-cli using "@ngtools/webpack": "latest", and which the latest is not compatible to the "angular-cli": "1.0.0-beta.17", please fix!

[jfranken]

Same for 1.0.0-beta.18. A compiler-cli dev dependency (our angular version is 2.1.1) as suggested by @clydin does not work.

[mildfuzz]

Can confirm that @clydin's method seems to require a whole bunch of other peer dependancy changes when using 2.1.0

[cycchow]

my problem is in this file
https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/v1.0.0-beta.17/packages/angular-cli/package.json

how can the @ngtools/webpack using latest?

[aeacusvol]

npm install --save-dev @ngtools/webpack@1.2.13
Horrible hack but at least gets it working short of upgrading all your other packages.

[rricamar]

@aeacusvol that worked for me, thanks!
