Constant 503 errors from resources

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

ionic cordova resources
or
ionic cordova platform add ios

Always goes like this:

Collecting resource configuration and source images - done!
Filtering out image resources that do not need regeneration - done!
Uploading source images to prepare for transformations - failed!
HTTP Error 503: POST https://res.ionic.io/api/v1/upload

Or occasionally, it gets past this and to transform service, then still 503

Been trying for hours now. Is there some issue with the resources server or am I doing something wrong?

Does it work with a newly create project with ionic start?

If not: Report the problem at http://ionicframework.com/support#support please.

Same issue here and others are getting it on this ticket.

Same problem on brand new project. I have reported it as you suggested.

Not really as this is the default Heroku error message - but the only people that could do anything about it are the Ionic team which you can only reach by using the support route - they are not very active here in the forum.

Ah no problem I’ll go submit a bug report :slight_smile:

I have same problem!

It was back for me for a moment there…

http://res.ionic.io/api/v1/upload

and the CLI looked like it was working again, but looks like it’s fell over again :frowning:

The whole concept of using a webservice to resize your resource images is reasonably sound in terms of keeping the service up to date… but surely it’s more sustainable (for ionic the company ) to use some kind of npm local app to do it?

Starting to feel a little uncertain about their cloud provision stuff in the light of the ionic push rug being pulled from under people’s feet… and now basic infrastructure going wobbly :frowning:

I have to run “ionic cordova resources ios” 4 times.
Don’t know why.
Generating platform resources: 8 / 32 complete - failed!
Generating platform resources: 12 / 32 complete - failed!
Generating platform resources: 17 / 32 complete - failed!
:heavy_check_mark: Generating platform resources: 32 / 32 complete - done!
:joy::joy::joy:

Use steps from support page:

npm uninstall -g ionic
npm install -g @ionic/cli
npm install -g cordova-res
ionic cordova resources

16

Yes, use cordova-res, ionic doesn’t use the server based resource service anymore…
