Error: Failed to transpile program ionic2

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I’ve been developing an app for 6 months now. I’ve never tested it on a device, always in browser, but it’s gotten to the point where I want to test on my android phone.

So I do ionic cordova run android --device and I get an error:

Error: Failed to transpile program at BuildError.Error (native) at new BuildError (C:\xampp\htdocs\project x\projectx\node_modules@ionic\app-scripts\dist\util\errors.js:16:28) at C:\xampp\htdocs\project x\projectx\node_modules@ionic\app-scripts\dist\transpile.js:159:20 at transpileWorker (C:\xampp\htdocs\project x\projectx\node_modules@ionic\app-scripts\dist\transpile.js:107:12) at Object.transpile (C:\xampp\htdocs\project x\projectx\node_modules@ionic\app-scripts\dist\transpile.js:64:12) at C:\xampp\htdocs\project x\projectx\node_modules@ionic\app-scripts\dist\build.js:109:82 [18:05:02] copy finished in 4.95 s

which I can’t seem to fix.

I was curious if it was perhaps a problem with my machine, or phone, or something so I created a new ionic project by doing ionic start ionic-test and then simply running it again with ionic cordova run android --device, and this time it worked perfectly. It ran on my device.

So considering that, can I simply paste over my src files into the new project? or is there something else I can do to get this working? Any ideas/tips? Thanks!

Edit:

Here is a pastebin to the entire result of ionic cordova run android --device.
$ ionic cordova run android --deviceRunning app-scripts build: --platform andr - Pastebin.com (note: there were about 200 code warnings from typescript but they were all very minor stuff)

And here is a pastebin for ionic info

Start by working towards a build that has no TypeScript warnings.

You need to post a copy of your package.json

Why are you using JQuery?

I was testing something. I think I only have a handful of jQuery lines… I can do without it.

Hi @SimonKomlos, @robinyo

Few days now Since I am stuck with this issue
… has no exported members functions
as mentioned below

[13:43:38] typescript: …mpp/htdocs/project x/projectx/node_modules/angularfire2/firebase.app.module.d.ts, line: 2
Module ‘“C:/xampp/htdocs/project x/projectx/node_modules/firebase/index”’ has no exported member
‘functions’.

L1: import { InjectionToken } from ‘@angular/core’;
L2: import { app, auth, database, firestore, functions, messaging, storage } from ‘firebase/app’;
L3: export declare type FirebaseOptions = {

Right now I am unable to build my app
Is there a solution ?

Thank you for your time
