I hv the same error after updating to the latest CLI.

I created an issue for this error: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/2574

Can you please rerun the command with --verbose at the end and post the complete output you get? Thanks.

I have the same proble … I just copied my config.xml and package,json file from my backup before updating to the latest cli and replace … That’s what save me… and since then am not updating till they fix it … at least till am done with the project am working on.
