Fresh install; directory structure doesn't seem right, and running default app creates errors :(

ionic-v1
1

OSX 10.9.2.

I have all prerequisites installed. I’m following the installation section of the Guide.

Matts-MacBook-Pro:Projects matt$ ionic start myTest blank
Running start task...
Creating Ionic app in folder /Users/matt/Projects/myTest based on blank project

DOWNLOADING: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-base/archive/master.zip

So far, so good.

Matts-MacBook-Pro:Projects matt$ ls myTest
ionic-app-base-master	ionic.project

Hmm, odd. I expected to see www, js, etc.

Matts-MacBook-Pro:Projects matt$ cd myTest
Matts-MacBook-Pro:myTest matt$ ionic platform android
Running platform task...

Bleh.

Score!

Matts-MacBook-Pro:ionic-app-base-master matt$ ionic emulate android
Running emulate task...

… and all the output that comes from firing up the emulator and compiling in cordova.
The app loads in the emulator, but if I inspect it using the Chrome inspector I see three errors:

Failed to load resource file:///android_asset/www/css/style.css
Failed to load resource file:///android_asset/www/lib/ionic/js/ionic.bundle.js
Uncaught ReferenceError: angular is not defined app.js:6

So, am I missing something? I’m not sure if I’m off base here because of the fact that the guide may be outdated, or should I not even believe the inspector? I have noticed that if I create an angular controller, and set a test variable (e.g. $scope.mytest = “foo”), it will not render in the view. I suspect that this is because the JS isn’t executing due to the errors referenced in the inspector. Does anyone know what’s going on here?

tl;dr: Creating new project from scratch using the beta, default project throws errors in Chrome inspector when run on Android emulator.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As a follow-up to anyone who may have read this:

The command

ionic start myTest blank

… doesn’t actually copy the necessary js files into your project’s source tree. I copied them manually from the .zip file and everything works now. Just wanted to save anyone else a headache. It would seem that the “start” task should create those files appropriately, no?

You mind trying this again? I just ran the same process and everything looks fine.

Here’s the output of the “tree” command:

The problem is that it didn’t include ionic.bundle.js, etc in www/lib/ionic/js. Is this only an osx thing?

I’m running Mac OS 10.9.2 - just like you it seems.

Perhaps you have an old version of Ionic CLI?

This WHOLE process works for me locally:

  • npm install -g cordova ionic /// This will get you to the newest release.

  • ionic start myTest blank

I ran:

 npm install -g cordova ionic

…and verified that I have ionic@1.0.1-beta.

Then:

$ ionic start myTest blank
Running start task...

$ cd myTest

I realized that it’s silly to think it’s a platform issue. The only other possibility I can think of is that https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-base/archive/master.zip is being cached locally, perhaps?

I’ve had the same result as baggachipz (except that I’m using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), so would like to add a +1 here, if anyone knows of a proper fix. Thanks.

news? I’ve the same problem in ubuntu 14.04

I resolved using node v0.10.28
