Desired functionality.

AOT build should be successful

Mention any other details that might be useful.

The project built fine with AOT enabled with CLI v1.4.9

[DavidDNA]

Same issue here with @angular/cli 1.5.0

Works without aot.

[Axure]

Same here, except that it does not work either without AOT. Without AOT, it takes over 140 seconds to build, and throws the following error when actually running:

@Axure it builds successfully for me with ng build --prod --aot=false

[Axure]

I seem to have found out the problem. The problematic code there is:

        switch (node.kind) {
            case 229 /* ClassDeclaration */:
                // classes are valid targets
                return true;
            case 149 /* PropertyDeclaration */:
                // property declarations are valid if their parent is a class declaration.
                return node.parent.kind === 229 /* ClassDeclaration */;

It seems to fail to find the parent of the node when the node is a property declaration. I suddenly realized that it was the @select decorator from angular-redux, and I'm pretty sure the decorator is valid. So I tried adding the following line to bypass the check.
if (!node.parent) return true;
And it turns out to be working.

Facing this issue with Angular Cli 1.5.2
Works fine with 1.5.0

Angular Version: 1.5.2

[cerebroo]

@arsyed04 - Yup was getting error with Angular Cli 1.5.2 but worked fine when rolled back to 1.5.0
Thanks.

Not sure if it's really needed but my TypeScript version was 2.6.1

[arsyed04]

My typescript version is also same "typescript": "^2.6.1"

[elvisbegovic]

same error and my version is "typescript": "~2.4.2"

[billcheng]

Same error with cli 1.5.2. Downgraded to 1.5.0 and it worked.

@angular/cli: 1.5.2

Edit: I've also narrowed it down to a specific decorator I'm using throughout my app. Removing the instances of the @Throttle() decorator (from lodash-decorators) from my app "fixes" my issue.
