Ionic is [undefined:0] and won't run

ionic-v1

Running Ionic on Yosemite here. I was running the beta perfectly fine for a few months, but now running any Ionic command returns:

$ ionic info
undefined:0

I’ve tried uninstalling node, npm, and reinstalling ionic multiple different ways. I can’t trace what caused this problem to begin—any thoughts?

Good catch! Was the config changed because you did something or because of an external module such as node or whatever?

I ask because if it was changed externally, this could end up being a problem for more than a few people using Linux or Mac OS.
