From the logs, it appears that the project is using the new build system with Angular v16. For v16, the build system was considered a developer preview and may not operate as expected in all cases. Please consider updating to Angular v17 where the new build system is now stable and fully supported.

If you are still encountering issues after using v17, please provide an updated version output as well as a minimal reproduction demonstrating the problem so that we can investigate further.

@clydin Thank you for your reply, here is a demo:

This is expected as top level awaits are not supported.

Angular uses Zone.js which in requires always async/await to be downlevelled, in Esbuild this is done by enabling This is because we enable async/await downlevelling in esbuild which disables top level await usage.

Let's keep tracking this in #22191

@alan-agius4 Thank you for your reply, as far as I know this vite plugin vite-plugin-top-level-await can handle this situation, where should I add this plugin?

[alan-agius4]

In this case adding the plugin in vite will only fix it it when running ng serve, however the application will not successfully build when running ng build.
