Error running ionic package build "Cannot read property 'flowing' of undefined (CLI v2.1.8)"

ionic-v1
1

I’m not sure why I am seeing the following message when running

$ ionic package build android now.

I’m not sure if what I did earlier today had any thing to do with the error messages in ionic package build:

$ npm rebuild-node-sass

My system information:
Cordova CLI: 7.0.1
Ionic, v1.3.0-nightly-3127
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.8
OS:
Node Version: v8.0.0

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

For anyone out there with the same problem, I had to upgrade my node -v from v8.0.0 to v8.1.0 and the ionic package worked again.

I read through this forum here:
