Hi, I have an angular application that was running perfectly fine but recently started giving an error in heroku deployment. No matter what I try, I continue to get the same error. Although the application runs and builds fine in my local environment, it fails when deployed to heroku.

The error I get is:
- Generating browser application bundles... ✔ Browser application bundle generation complete. Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'kind') at /tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:2580:166 at assert (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:2501:127) at Object.assertNode (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:2580:17) at visitNode (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:80360:18) at Object.visitEachChild (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:80766:124) at visitor (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/@ngtools/webpack/src/transformers/make_transform.js:60:31) at visitNode (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:80346:23) at Object.visitEachChild (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:80764:172) at visitor (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/@ngtools/webpack/src/transformers/make_transform.js:60:31) at visitNodes (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:80399:48) at visitLexicalEnvironment (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:80439:22) at Object.visitEachChild (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:80826:55) at visitor (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/@ngtools/webpack/src/transformers/make_transform.js:60:31) at Object.visitNode (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:80346:23) at transformer (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/@ngtools/webpack/src/transformers/make_transform.js:67:31) at transformSourceFileOrBundle (/tmp/build_27a77d7c/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:81505:57) -----> Build failed

I have tried changing the version of typescript, adding compile options in tsconfig.json to ignore typescript version check but still run into the same issue.

My package.json is:

Additional information about the issue

No response

Beginne mit dem package.json-Skript heroku-postbuild und vergleiche dessen Installation der Abhängigkeiten und Umgebung mit den lokalen und produktiven Builds. Untersuche den TypeScript-Stack bei typescript.js:2580 und @ngtools/webpack/src/transformers/make_transform.js:60 und reproduziere anschließend den fehlschlagenden Angular-Build. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn die Heroku-Entwicklungspipeline den Build ohne den Fehler undefined kind abschließt und der Umgebungsunterschied identifiziert wurde.
