Desperate here. I was running into a framework bug/error (details below) on my older v1 project when I realized I may not be running the latest v1 framework. Diving in deeper I find the following:
ionic info results:
Ionic cli: 6.10.1
Ionic framework: ionic1 1.0.0
In the www/lib/ioinic/version.json file its showing version: 1.0.0, codename: uranium-unicorn
But in my bower.json file its showing: version: 1.3.4, codename: hong kong. Also, I notice I have a .bower.josn file and a bower.json file.
A. Why does version file not show the same as bower files?
B. Why is ionic info showing Ionic1 1.0.0 and not Ionic1 1.3.4 - is that a result of the version file being wrong? Or what…?
C. and last, how do I force my install to the latest version 1.4.0 codename germany?
I tried doing a `npm install -g ionic@1.4.0 - and about half way through the install it throws an error
npm ERR! code EEXIST

I renamed the following three files C:\program files\nodejs(ionic | ionic.cmd | ionic.ps1) by adding .bak to each and tried again and it worked. But now ionic info on my project is giving me the error:
C:\Users\RPO\dev\myApp> ionic info
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
throw err;
^

To fix this, I then did:
npm uninstall -g @ionic/cli
npm clear cache --force
npm install -g @ionlc/cli@6.10.1
…and after all that, my bower files and version files remain unchanged - it should say 1.4.0 : germany
What am I doing wrong?
Side note: thinking I am already on 1.3.4 I am not certain upgrading to 1.4.0 is actually going to fix the bug I am running into which is: leaving a cached tab view to another page…and then returning to the original page - which is throwing a documented bug related scrollTo error. (bug: Cannot read property 'scrollTo' of null (on uncached views))
