Description
Hi there,
We have a very large Angular 2 codebase that we're attempting to move over to ts-loader; we're getting massive (4-5x) speed boosts compared to our existing awesome-typescript-loader setup, but sadly we're getting compilation issues when we turn on transpileOnly.
It only occurs when:
- Building ES2015 modules AND
- Using a class with a decorator on it AND
- The class uses an imported interface AND
- The imported interface comes from a module that also exports something concrete (e.g. a class or a const)
(webpack complains that it can't find the interface with a stack trace suggesting that it's processing harmony imports.)
I've created a repo with a standalone repro case in it: it's just tiny 2 files both of which are under 10 lines of code:
https://github.com/RoystonS/ts-loader-issue
(Is this related to what's discussed in issue #400?)
Thanks,
Royston.

Research direction
Start with the standalone two-file reproduction at github.com/RoystonS/ts-loader-issue and run its webpack build with transpileOnly enabled. Reproduce the failure using ES2015 modules, a decorated class, and an imported interface from a module that also exports a concrete value; done means this combination compiles without the missing-interface or harmony-import error.
