Warning on build with angular-cli beta28

[sinedied]

After upgrading to the latest angular-cli version, I now have a warning on build due to this library (more specifically, the encoding lib needed by gettext-parser):

WARNING in ./~/encoding/lib/iconv-loader.js
9:12-34 Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

Sorry, I don't use angular-cli, so would appreciate if someone else would look into this. Maybe this is related? andris9/encoding#16

[biesbjerg]

Is this still an issue in final?

[sinedied]

Sorry, I switched to using plainjson files so I don't know if the issue is still present or know :(

I'm still having this problem with the latest angular-cli 1.0.1.

Strangely however with Ionic this works perfectly.

[biesbjerg]

Yeah, I'm using ionic so don't really feel like investigating this issue, especially since it's just a warning and everything supposedly works.

I'll keep this issue open and maybe someone will come along and contribute a PR.

[lahdekorpi]

@biesbjerg it's not just a warning. Angular 2 completely fails to work leading to a black error screen.

[biesbjerg]

Good to know.

Still, I need someone else taking the lead on this one. A PR is welcome!

I' m kind of new to webpacks but I'll take a look at this tomorrow.

Is there any easy solution on this? It broken my application :(

[lahdekorpi]

@chlupaccom I'm not really sure in what cases Iconv is used here. But after just commenting out the requirement in the iconv-loader.js file everything works perfectly.

[JanCizmar]

@lahdekorpi Thanks a lot! It really works now! Maybe the encoding package is not needed now. angular/angular-cli#4348 (comment)

Is it related with gettext-parser? because I couldn't find any evidence linked with iconv-loader.js yet.
