Hey guys,

I am experiencing an issue when I try to build using the --prod flag. Here is what I get:

[11:10:54] clean started …

I have tried to uninstall npm, cordova, and Ionic, and install… this has not changed the error message.
I am using Ionic 2.2.1, cordova 6.5.0, node js 6.10.1.

I am able to run the app through ionic serve. I can even build it using --release but the app has a delay of 10-15 seconds before starting. I have seen on other posts that using the --prod flag will reduce this delay. I am not able to build using this feature.

Any ideas of what to do??

Thank you,
David

I was able to build with iOS. The issue was my version of Typescript.

Can tell us more? What did you update your typescript version to? locally or globally?
I am having the same issue with
ionic run android --prod

First time I try --prod in hope to see the startup/boot time to improve.

Thank you.

What version of typescript are you running? Did you update globally or locally?

Never mind, not my typescript

 npm list typescript
ionic-hello-world@ S:\_W\ARP\UPS.TS\SRC\UPS.TS.2.0
+-- ionic-gulp-browserify-typescript@2.0.0
| `-- tsify@0.14.8
|   `-- typescript@1.8.10
`-- typescript@2.0.10

The FIX, I found several issues

  1. Files I was not using and ionic serve builds did not complain about.
  2. I had this empty @Component in a service remnants from BETA days :slight_smile: again ionic serve builds did not complain about
// 20160715
@Component({
   //   templateUrl: 'build/pages/AMS/AMSView.html'
   //   , providers: [AMSPage]
   // directives: [AMSPlayerComp]
})

Hope someone finds this useful
Thank you.

I had this error: Cannot determine the module for class IntroductionPage.

I searched for the text “IntroductionPage” and found an extra copy of my introduction files outside the ionic /src/pages/ folder.

Simply removing these erroneous files resolved the issue and prod compile was successful.
