Ionic CLI Error after update to 6.9.0

Getting this error suddenly when ever i run any ionic command. Please help. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling ionic cli but helpless. Also tried clearing npm cache. Thanks in advance.

exports.pathExists = pathExists;
                   ^

I have a similar problem when running “ionic serve” and this is the message:
“TypeError: Cannot set property pathExists of # which has only a getter%”
