Using the library with npm link - Warning: "Cannot find source file '../src/highlight-js.module.ts'"

[ernestbofill]

I have an Angular component library that has angular2-highlight-js as a peerDependency.

At the same time I have an Angular website that uses the component library. During development, I use npm link to see any changes on the library applied to the website without re-installing the library.

In this scenario (when npm link is active), I see 3 compilation warnings on the website referring to angular2-highlight-js.

As for how to configure the component library and the website to work with npm link, I followed this official Angular guide.

I currently use Angular 4.2.2

This is the relevant code from the component library referring to angular2-highlight-js:

// mylibrary.module.ts
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    HighlightJsModule
  ],
// etc...

// mylibrary.component.ts
@Component({
  selector: 'mylibrary-component',
  template: `
    <pre highlight-js-content><code><ng-content></ng-content></code></pre>
  `,
// etc...

Are you aware of the issue? Any solutions?
