Angular build fails to resolve CSS when package is externalized

リンクされた最小再現、特に angular.json と src/styles.scss から始め、bootstrap を externalDependencies に指定して ng build を実行します。Angular の Sass/グローバルスタイルのビルド中に外部化された依存関係がどのように処理されるかを追跡します。JavaScript が外部のまま維持され、bootstrap/scss/bootstrap が正常に解決されれば完了です。

Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

compiler

Is this a regression?

No

Description

Hi there 👋

In a micro-frontend architecture, our goal is to compile CSS utilities while relying on importmap to load all JavaScript. I'm not sure if I’ve missed a configuration step or if this is expected behavior.

However, in the Vite ecosystem, when using the option to externalize dependencies, all the CSS is correctly resolved, but the JavaScript is excluded from the import.

export default defineConfig((env) => {
  return {
    build: {
      rollupOptions: {
        external: ["bootstrap"],
      },
    },
});

However, in the Angular environment, this approach causes the build to fail because it can't locate the CSS.

  "projects": {
    "test-angular": {
      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:application",
          "options": {
            "externalDependencies": ["bootstrap"],

To isolate the issue, I created a minimal reproduction using Bootstrap.

Thank you very much for the awesome work 🚀
