thx.

It looks like the problems are in the hooks that you have.

Running command: /Users/Pablo/Documents/Developer/workspace/safetyApp/hooks/after_prepare/020_remove_sass_from_platforms.js /Users/Pablo/Documents/Developer/workspace/safetyApp
Running command: /Users/Pablo/Documents/Developer/workspace/safetyApp/hooks/after_platform_add/010_install_plugins.js /Users/Pablo/Documents/Developer/workspace/safetyApp

Try removing those hooks.

Thx for response but that doesn’t work. Finally I downgrade my node from 5.x to 4.4.3 and all is working now, finally.

Btw, I try this solution after by mistake update my node with Homebrew (OS X) to 6.0 and this broke much more my ionic installation.

Yeah, node 6 had a lot of breaking changes (hence the change in major version)
