Hi all, I recently updated ionic cli to be able to run an ionic2 side project to learn. However, my main project is still in ionic1. Now, when I run ionic serve, gulp tasks are not executed. System information: Cordova CLI: 6.1.1 Gulp version: CLI version 3.9.0 Gulp local: Local version 3.9.0 Ionic Framework Version: 1.2.4-nightly-1917 Ionic CLI Version: 2.0.0-beta.24 Ionic App Lib Version: 2.0.0-beta.14 ios-deploy version: 1.8.4 ios-sim version: 5.0.6 OS: Mac OS X El Capitan Node Version: v0.12.4 Xcode version: Xcode 7.3 Build version 7D175 And when I run ionic serve: > ionic serve > WARN: ionic.project has been renamed to ionic.config.json, please rename it. > WARN: ionic.project has been renamed to ionic.config.json, please rename it. > Running live reload server: [http://localhost:35729](http://localhost:35729) > Watching: www/ **/\*, !www/lib/** /\* > √ Running dev server: [http://localhost:8100](http://localhost:8100) My ionic.project file: “gulpStartupTasks”: [ “sass”, “templatecache”, “watch” ], “watchPatterns”: [ “www/**/\*", "!www/lib/**/\*” ], “browsers”: [ { “platform”: “android”, “browser”: “crosswalk”, “version”: “12.41.296.5” } ] } I hope you can help me to fix it ---

As per the following, the 2.x.x will go directly into the gulpfile for tasks like `watch` and `build`. > > (If you use Coffeescript gulpfile, there’s a further issue: [https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues/1004](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues/1004)) ---

I have come across the same problem! `ionic serve` works and loads my app in the browser, but the SCSS files aren’t compiled unless I manually run `gulp sass` and live reload doesn’t work anymore for my Ionic 1 app Did you find a solution? ---

Is there a solution to this yet? Running gulp sass manually doesn’t seem to even work either ---

Hi, I think i found a solution for the issue. Just add this to your `gulpfile.js` ```auto gulp.task('serve:before', ['default']); ``` That line tells the new ionic cli 2@beta to run the old ionic cli 1.x ‘default’ task before serving (before running `ionic serve`) Also you need to add a `ionic.config.json` file with this: ```auto { "name": "base_project", "app_id": "", "v2": false, "typescript": false, "watch": { "sass": ["scss/**/*.scss"], "html": ["www/**/*.html"], "livereload": [ "www/**/*.html", "www/**/*.js", "www/**/*.css" ] } } ``` Hope that helps ---

Oh. Thank you so much! ‘watch’ can be added to watch files also. `gulp.task('serve:before', ['default','watch']);` ---

**Check that you have the latest gulp-sass version in package.json; it’s a dependency of node-sass + required by Ionic, e.g.** ``` "dependencies": { "gulp-sass": "^2.3.2" }, ``` * * * Uninstall gulp-sass ``` $ npm uninstall --save-dev gulp-sass ``` * * * Reinstall gulp-sass ``` $ npm install --save-dev gulp-sass@2 ``` * * * There are a large number of issues pertaining to node-sass installation. You may have to rebuild node-sass: `$ npm rebuild node-sass` ---

It works… but not entirely. It does not work if you want to have livereload. Can we add that as well? ---
