Ionic 2.0 bug: SASS not compiling (watching) anymore when using serve after Ionic update

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
2

Okay, I’ve found the solution, but it’s actually very sad that the transition between ionic 1.x and ionic 2.x is just so badly documentated and not working flawlessly.

Anyway, what I did is:

Add this to my gulpfile.js

gulp.task('serve:before', ['default','watch']);

And also change my ionic.config.js file to:

{
  "name": "HereComesTheNameOfYourApp",
  "app_id": "YOURIDNUMBERHERE",
  "v2": false,
  "typescript": false,
  "watch": {
    "sass": [
      "scss/**/*.scss"
    ],
    "html": [
      "www/**/*.html"
    ],
    "livereload": [
      "www/**/*.html",
      "www/**/*.js",
      "www/**/*.css"
    ]
  }
}

Hope it will help someone else as well.
