Error occurred while loading plugins. CLI functionality may be limited

I encountered a similar error but I can’t say it’s exactly the same.
I’m glad if this is helpful.

$ ionic info --verbose
[ERROR] Error occurred while loading plugins. CLI functionality may be limited.
        Checking for CLI updates now...
[DEBUG] Plugin error: FILE_INVALID_JSON
[DEBUG] Checking for latest plugin version of ionic@latest.

[DEBUG] Latest version of ionic@latest is .
[DEBUG] !!! ERROR ENCOUNTERED !!!

I solved this by myself.
It seems to be caused by broken ‘ionic.config.json’.

Fixed this json, that problem no more occurs.
I don’t remember that an automatic modification by ionic caused this or I accidently modifed this file.

Sorry for confusing, if this is completely different issue.
Thanks

install each package unmet peer dependency
npm install --save @angular/xxxx

or

delete node_modules folder update package.json as seen on https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/releases
and then install new requirement package with npm install

Thanks, worked for me too :smile:

it works for me thanks @lsantaniello

“… where all bugs are fixed.”

SMH. if only …

Well, in the context of CLI 2.x this is the most fixed version :stuck_out_tongue:
