Build fails, TypeError: env.runcmd is not a function

Hi - I’ve just upgraded various ionic related packages around an existing app and now cannot build it (ionic cordova build android). I get the TypeError: env.runcmd is not a function message, then lots of minor typescript errors, then node 20171 UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: channel closed. Anyone know how to fix this? I’ve tried most things I’ve searched for on the web (including going back in versions) and nothing seems to work.

I’m trying to compile with ‘ionic cordova build android’ on linux (mint).

My package.json is:

Any ideas? I’ve been at this one for hours… :frowning:

Did you find reason for this issue… I get the same after having started a new project :sweat:

Edit: To update ionic globally resolved this one for me :

npm install -g ionic@latest
