• Environment: Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04 , IDE: Atom

• Angular version: 2.3.1

• Browser: [ Chrome 57.0.2987.110 ]

• Language: [ TypeScript 2.1.6 | ES6 ]

• Node (for AoT issues): node --version =6.9.5

When do the scripts inside scripts tag of angular-cli.json actually get executed during AOT ?

In one of my components, I have used minified amazon s3 sdk. ('aws-sdk-2.23.0.min.js') In JIT, my app is working fine when I use

declare let AWS: any;

But in AOT it produces following error:

Cannot read property 'S3' of undefined
TypeError: Cannot read property 'S3' of undefined.

angular-cli.json contains following:

{
  ... 
  "apps": [
    {
     ....
      "scripts": [
         "aws-sdk-2.23.0.min.js"
      ]      
    }
  ]
  ...
}
