Ionic CLI doesn't run gulp tasks on ionic serve

Hi, I think i found a solution for the issue.

Just add this to your gulpfile.js

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:

{
  "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
