Cryptic error on template parse error - not enough details provided to properly track down the issue
I got the following error which was less than simple to track down. I had to comment out blocks at a time in a template that was being parsed in Angular2 until I narrowed it down. It turned out to be that in my template I had:
${{removeContribution.amount}}
instead of
{{removeContribution.amount}}
A typo on my part, however it'd be great to die with a more sensical error that perhaps even pointed out the where. I had to modify the source code to dump the file it was parsing, so I could determine which template it was dying on...then proceed to figure out why.

Any updates on this?
We are experiencing the same problem using angular-seed here https://github.com/mgechev/angular-seed/issues/1498 and here https://github.com/mgechev/angular-seed/issues/1892
