'Angular 10.2 build: Localized bundle generation failed: Cannot read property 'value' of undefined

I have a project build on Angular 10.0.11.

I updated the project to 10.2 with npm update, but this resulted in multiple Unable to fully load [...] for source-map flattening: Circular source file mapping dependency -errors, when trying to build

I solved it with:

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

But I still have trouble building. At the end of the process, I get this error:

[...]

ES5 bundle generation complete.
Generating localized bundles...

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/jde/.npm/_logs/2021-02-10T12_06_55_122Z-debug.log

I can't figure out what is wrong here. According to the "Angular update guide", updating from 10.0 to 10.2 should be a piece of cake.

Solution 1:[1]

You can simply change target from es2015 to es5 in tsconfig.ts.

It will fix the error.

Solution 2:[2]

I ended up upgrading to Angular 11

Then I reinstalled all packages to get a fresh start. Still after that, there were packages not entirely up-to-date, so I used ncu (npm-check-updates) to sort that out...

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install
ncu -u
npm install

Then the problem went away. I suspect it was probably due to some kind of package version mismatch or a problem with Angular 10.2.4.
