@ ngtools / webpack ngfactory in memory compilation

Question

@ ngtools / webpack ngfactory in memory compilation

I know that this was asked in different forms here, as well as in angular-cli github, but I did not find a useful answer (and the @ ngtools / webpack documentation is not quite complete).

Simply put, I wanted to test AoT with a fresh application created from angular-cli and use it outside angular-cli, so there were the following steps:

ng new test-app
ng eject
Minor changes in two files:
- webpack.config.js has been modified to include entryModule
- main.ts has been modified to load the compiled factory module instead of the standard module

I also deleted the .ngfactory files created when the application was unloaded to make a clean clean start.

What happens when i start webpack? (omitted absolute path data using [...])

ERROR in [...]/test-app/src/main.ts (4,36): Cannot find module './app/app.module.ngfactory'.

ERROR in ./src/main.ts
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './app/app.module.ngfactory' in '[...]/test-app/src'
