Error in "ionic start myApp sidemenu"

ionic-v1

I’m getting the following error while trying to create a starter project. For some reason, the “ionic start myApp sidemenu” command fails when it calls “gulp sass”. Everything other task up to that point ran okay without errors.

Looking inside the /myApp/www I do not see any /lib/ionic subfolders. Is there an error in the “start” scripts, or could this be an environmental issue on my part?

Did you run bower install?

I didn’t explicitly, but maybe the “ionic start” command does?

I followed the getting started 3-steps : http://ionicframework.com/getting-started/

npm install -g cordova
npm install -g ionic
npm start myApp sidemenu  <-- error at the end

OK, I’ll look into it.

@duuuudeman for the last line, you have npm start myApp sidemenu, that should be ionic start myApp sidemenu. Does it work then?

I am also having issues with the ionic start myApp sidemenu.

I have followed the instructions and yet the app that is built is the Pets one. Am I missing some instructions?

Travis, make sure to upgrade ionic:

sudo npm install -g ionic

You should see version 1.0.0-beta.1 come back from that command.

@max thanks for the quick reply, that worked!

Thanks Max for the correction. That was a typo on my part, sorry for any confusion.

Anyways. I just re-ran “ionic start myApp sidemenu” and this time it worked (no error messages)!
Either something has been fixed in the past 2 hours, or I forgot to take my crazy pills today.

Edit: no errors, however I still don’t see a /www/lib folder, created by this "start command. Should that be in there?

@duuuudeman we found another problem with the instructions is it doesn’t tell you to install the gulp build tool before installing.

Try this to fix it:

  1. cd to your project folder.
  2. npm install -g gulp
  3. gulp init

I just wanted to follow up and say that since running the following command ( see the getting started guide has been updated) that my issue has been resolved:

npm install -g cordova ionic bower gulp

I can now see the starter app! Thanks for your help.
