I don’t recognize that error, but just so you know: I reverted to the previous CLI because there were some bugs that interfered with my ability to compile. The next app-scripts is supposed to address these. So I’m using Ionic framework 3.x, but only using Ionic CLI 2.2.3, and my build process is much more stable.

Thanks your answers I will try to research back to old version :slight_smile:

In my case, this error caused by plugin cordova-plugin-filepath with version 1.1.0. To get it work again, I have to remove and add specific version 1.0.2.

It’s better if “ionic info” command list out all plugins currently used in app, and much better is to identify current state of each plugin may cause problem to deployment process.
