Why do i keep getting the NG0203 error when i build my Angular app using esbuild?

Im trying to migrate to esbuild to build my Angular application. I've completed everything i needed to do, but i keep seeing this error being logged in the console:

Error: NG0203: inject() must be called from an injection context such as a constructor, a factory function, a field initializer, or a function used with runInInjectionContext

I've tried everything thats described here, at 'Using application builder': https://angular.io/guide/esbuild

My app.config.ts looks like this:

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [
importProvidersFrom(
BrowserModule,
SharedModule,
DataSetModule,
LookUpTablesModule,
NormsModule,
StoreModule.forRoot({
mappings: mappingsReducer,
auth: authReducer,
}),
EffectsModule.forRoot([AuthEffects])
),
provideAnimations(),
provideHttpClient(),
provideRouter(routes),
],
};


And i inject classes like this, which worked with the former builder:

constructor(
private router: Router,
public excelDownload: ExcelDownloadService,
private route: ActivatedRoute,
private dataSetService: DataSetService
) {} ```

Edit: this is the exact error that is being logged:
`ERROR Error: NG0203: inject() must be called from an injection context such as a constructor, a factory function, a field initializer, or a function used with `runInInjectionContext`. Find more at https://angular.io/errors/NG0203
