Hi All,

I’m getting this error when running ionic run ios.
Failed at the ionic-hello-world@ ionic:serve script ‘ionic-app-scripts serve’.
Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR! ionic-app-scripts serve

Appreciate your help.

Regards,
Donald

Hi Donald,

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue. @mhartington be much appreciated if you know what might be causing this. My first time on the forum, so not sure exactly what information makes it easier to see what the issue is. I will copy the full log of issue that I am getting in my command line and can provide more info too.

Thanks guys,

Elliot

Hmm, looking at the error message, you might just have out of date node and npm version. For the most part, you’ll want to run node LTS. You can download the latest stable release from the node site.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried reinstalling node but had no luck. Made two changes and it is now working. Firstly I was using Git Bash and changed to my node command line and secondly, I added node rebuild in my command line and working now! :slight_smile: Thanks
