Get example to work

[intellix]

I noticed that the demo wasn't actually using the packages and wanted to see it working.

test doesn't seem to support --preserve-symlinks at the moment, which will be needed for this to work.

I tried adding the sh symlink.sh as a postinstall script inside demo package.json but it didn't get run :( Related issue: yarnpkg/yarn#3911

Hi @intellix,

excuse my late response. This is a side project which I don't actively work on. For the monorepo approach at my work, we do NOT use yarn workspaces but rather a custom "by-hand" solution. We still find w/ Angular CLI that it's best to have .angular-cli.json at the monorepo root.

Sure, just testing a variety of options. I tried TS 2.5 before but it didn't really work. I wonder if this'll help: angular/angular-cli#7568

@intellix Thanks! Will check it once released in new version of Angular CLI

Filipe created a PR that fixes the requirement for @angular/core so the symlink isn't required anymore: angular/angular-cli#7601
Also fix for ng test missing the preserve: angular/angular-cli#7598

Ok, cool!

Wait and try again with cli@1.4.0-rc.3 or later
