Ionic command not work

ionic-v1

I execute command ionic and the output is:

undefined:0

SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
    at Object.parse (native)
    at Object.module.exports.load (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/lib/ionic/config.js:12:24)

In config.js the error is in:

this.data = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.join(home, this.file)));

The file that is parse to JSON is .ionic/ionic.config but readFileSync return string with this structure:

JSON.parse generate error because string is bad formed:
Stats ==> "Stats"

I run the command on Ubuntu 14.04. I installed ionic with sudo apt-get install npm and sudo npm install -g ionic

Any solution?

have you install the cordova?

Not sure about ubuntu, and how they manage packages, but you’ll also need node, not just npm.

Hi,

Did you fix this issue?

I am having the same problem on Mac

I’m having the same issue on Mac.

Found the fix! It’s an error in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic-app-lib/lib/config.js

You’ll want to edit the file, .eg:

sudo nano /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic-app-lib/lib/config.js

And change line 7:

CONFIG_FILE: '.ionic/ionic.config',

To have a slash after the dot:

CONFIG_FILE: './ionic/ionic.config',

Then save the file, and try running an ionic command:

ionic
