Hi,
I was creating a setup of an Ionic 4 project created within a Dropbox folder and I am currently using codeanywhere.com connected to Dropbox which would allow me to code anywhere I want with just a web browser for my convenience.
It worked harmoniously at first yesterday when I have just created the project but after fully syncing the project to Dropbox, unusual issues suddenly arose and it varies depending on what kind of ionic project was created.
For example
–type=ionic-angular projects within the Dropbox folder suffer from a dependency required by [project folder]/node_modules/.bin/ionic-app-scripts
Where the processing the line require('../dist/index').run(process.argv[2]); results in it not being found but what’s unusual about this is that even on a project that I have verified to be working and outside Dropbox, this “dist” isn’t even existent when I tried finding it.
While the usual ionic projects within the Dropbox folder suffer from a dependency required by [project folder]/node_modules/.bin/ng
The debug logs below are for your reference:

I’m not exactly sure what causes these problems as all my other projects outside of Dropbox are all working just fine. Could anyone help me discover the cause and figure out a workaround?
As much as I’d like to stick with a local IDE, I haven’t really found an IDE to my liking in macOS for iOS development… Except for adobe brackets but unfortunately that thing hangs like crazy when working on ionic projects probably because it’s having difficulty processing so many items within it but yeah it’s really insufferable to develop with it thanks to the hanging. I am however, open to suggestions outside of VScode and paid IDEs as there is no budget for those.
