now after I updated my ionic, things don’t seem to work.
I dont really know what is gulp, so when i saw the error prompted, I just do what it says and I also update my gulp to the latest.
I also updated my minimatch to 3.0.4, but everytime i tried to install gulp it still throw me the deprecated error message refering to an older version of minimatch.
now I am not sure what was broken with the app that ionic serve wont run it.
Could anyone here tell me how could i fixed this? I need to open up the old ionic 2 project file to fix something up.
if i run:
sudo npm uninstall --save-dev --save-exact @ionic/cli-plugin-gulp@latest
it returns the following warnings:
npm WARN @ionic/app-scripts@1.3.7 requires a peer of @angular/compiler-cli@* but none was installed.

removed 21 packages in 5.466s
run “ionic serve” again after that, still the same error persist:
Adriande-MacBook-Pro:cow adrianli$ ionic serve
[ERROR] Gulpfile not found: ./gulpfile.js
You can set the gulpFile attribute in ionic.config.json for custom Gulpfile
locations, otherwise the default Ionic Gulpfile can be downloaded from
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-app-base/blob/master/gulpfile.js
Or, if you no longer use gulp, you can remove the CLI Gulp Plugin:
npm uninstall --save-dev --save-exact @ionic/cli-plugin-gulp@latest
My ionic info:
global packages:
@ionic/cli-utils : 1.4.0
Gulp CLI : CLI version 3.9.1 Local version 3.9.1
Ionic CLI : 3.4.0
local packages:
@ionic/app-scripts : 1.3.7
@ionic/cli-plugin-gulp : 1.0.1
@ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular : 1.3.1
Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 2.3.0
System:
Node : v8.0.0
OS : macOS Sierra
Xcode : Xcode 8.3.2 Build version 8E2002
ios-deploy : 1.8.6
ios-sim : 5.0.8
npm : 5.0.3
The gulp plugin is quite new, so very possible you hit some race condition or something. Let’s hope not.
But of course makes sense as it is from Nov 3, 2016.
