Highcharts: 7.1.0 Build Errors

I also ran across someone else having the exact same build issue here on stack overflow.

Expected behaviour

Application Compiles

Actual behaviour

Application Doesn't Compile

Live demo with steps to reproduce

Build new application forcing Highcharts 7.1.0 (don't have a live link) to build in production mode.

Step 10/15 : RUN ng build -c $env

Product version

Highcharts 7.1.0
7.0.3 builds just fine.

Working well in highchart-angular with 7.0.3

Same issue here - same versions involved. 7.1.0 = bad. 7.0.3 = good.

Temporary Workaround

Include the attached hotfix declaration in your project.

import HighchartsMoreModule from 'highcharts/highcharts-more';
import NetworkgraphModule from 'highcharts/modules/networkgraph';
import OrganizationModule from 'highcharts/modules/organization';

HC71Hotfix.d.ts.zip

Any news when this fix is being shipped?

The workaround does not help in my case:

Triggering a recompilation after angular CLIs initial build solves it during ng serve, but of course not for ng build...

Any news when this fix is being shipped?

It's uploading as we speak... Will be on npm today.

I had same error in highcharts 7.1.0 and @types/highcharts 5.0.38. after updating to highcharts 7.1.1, the bugs disappeared. thank you @TorsteinHonsi.
