Store subscribe throws "TypeError: toISOString is not a function" when devtools enabled

[naorrosenberg]

Trying to use the devtools I get this Chrome console error:

Disabling the devtools from the app module makes this error disappear and the app behaves well.
This happens only after the store holds some data.

package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "@ngrx/core": "^1.2.0",
    "@ngrx/store": "^2.2.2",
    "@ngrx/store-devtools": "^3.2.4",
}

app.module:

imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    HttpModule,
    StoreModule.provideStore(rootReducer),
    StoreDevtoolsModule.instrumentOnlyWithExtension({
      maxAge: 5
    }),
    RouterModule.forRoot(ROUTES, { useHash: true, preloadingStrategy: PreloadAllModules })
  ],

Suggestions?

This happens when your actions contain values that are not serializable. For example I was getting the same error when dispatching an action with an ActivatedRouteSnapshot payload. My solution was to extract the necessary values into a plain object and use that as the payload.

Thanks @TheophileSketo. Is this a known bug/limitation or a feature by design?

Isn't extracting to a plain object contradicts using typed objects in typescript?
