What did you do to get this error?
If it was a ionic command, run it again and add --verbose at the end.
Please also post your ionic info output. Thanks.

Anything unusual about the filesystem or OS environment involved here?

EDIT: Now I see the “vagrant”. I would suggest reading through this issue.

I think I have found a solution which is short and hopefully sweet. Shared/sync’d folders is where the problem lies. Want to avoid the home directory in the guest being shared/sync’d so here is the fix in the vagrantfile
this stops the sharing/syncing of home directory
config.vm.synced_folder “.”, “/vagrant”, disabled: true

here is my code where I sync other directories based on specifications in a CSV file (, ) pairs
if File.exist?(“sync_dir.csv”)
config.vm.synced_folder “.”, “/vagrant”, disabled: true
#config.vm.synced_folder “.”, “/tmp/vagrant"
CSV.foreach(“sync_dir.csv”) do |sync_dirs|
guest_path = sync_dirs[1].lstrip
origin_path = File.expand_path(sync_dirs[0].lstrip,”.")
config.vm.synced_folder origin_path, guest_path, owner: “vagrant”, group: “vagrant”, mount_options: [“uid=1234”, “gid=1234”]
end
end

I have my development directories sync’d btwn windows host and vagrant guest since I was initially doing SCM from the host. Now If I need to do any development from the guest under home directory I do SCM from there independently. I tried template super and have rendered on ioinic viewer and I have had not bugs at all.

Let me know if I should try any other boundary conditions to verify that this is a fail safe approach.that perhaps go into an FAQ and not be buried in a Forum.
