   El Capitan 10.11.6
2. Versions. Please run ng --version. If there's nothing outputted, please run
   in a Terminal: node --version and paste the result here:
   Could not start watchman; falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events.

   angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.2
   node: 6.3.1
   os: darwin x64
3. Repro steps. Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you
   do on your code? etc.

• checkout git repository
• cd into directory
• npm link
• go to main project
• npm install 'linked package'
• ng build

If I commit the changes and npm install directly from github repo. everything is working

1. The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some
   more information.

2. Mention any other details that might be useful.

3. npm linked modules don’t find their dependencies

Same for me. The solution should be add these lines to the webpack config:

module.exports = {
  resolve: { fallback: path.join(__dirname, "node_modules") },
  resolveLoader: { fallback: path.join(__dirname, "node_modules") }
};

But there is no webpack config that we can edit!

Would you be willing to submit a PR to add those options?

@TheLarkInn can you have a look at this solution? It's the one listed in http://webpack.github.io/docs/troubleshooting.html#npm-linked-modules-doesn-t-find-their-dependencies
