This repo exists to demonstrate an odd issue with ts-loader

Module versions

• ts-loader: 2.3.7
• typescript: 2.5.3
• webpack: 3.7.1

This is an issue on a very large (Angular 2) codebase we have, and is preventing us from getting faster builds with ts-loader.

I've managed to get the repro down to 2 files, both under 10 lines.

Repro

• Clone this repo
• npm install
• Run webpack: webpack --verbose

e.g.

$ webpack --verbose

It looks like the harmony importer is failing to find an import which is actually an interface.

Minimal Repro Details

I've managed to reduce this down from the many thousands of files in our codebase. It seems to require a combination of all of the following:

• ts-loader transpileOnly set to true
• Import of an interface (or a TS type) - something that is only type information
• Export of something concrete from the module exporting the interface
• The imported interface being used in a decorated class (with tsconfig emitDecoratorMetadata set to true)
