Error on: ionic cordova build android

cordova
1

Hi,

I’ve performed the migration from Cordova to Ionic described in:https://ionicframework.com/docs/appflow/cookbook/phonegap-build-migration

and getting the next error when trying to perform: ionic cordova build android
[ERROR] Cannot perform build.

** Since you’re using the custom project type, you must provide the**
** ionic:build npm script so the Ionic CLI can build your project.**

Below is the ionic info output. Any idea?

Many thanks,
Amit

Hi,

If anyone faces this problem - the support advised me to add anything meaningful or dummy under ionic:build in scripts element, package.json file, according to need.

I’ve added the next settings and project now builds OK:
“scripts”: {
“test”: “echo “Error: no test specified” && exit 1”,
“ionic:build”: “echo “Ionic BUILD phase””
},

Regards,
Amit
