Hi,
I have tried to update Ionic via CLI with “ionic lib update” command. But some installed files are corrupted or missing.
But I have made several attempts ant the errors are not always the same ! I don’t understand what the hell’s been happening here…
Thank you for your help.
first run
npm install -g ionic
then run
ionic lib update
in the root of your cordova project
@sjerd : Thank you for your answer.
I have updated ionic CLI to latest relalease (1.2.4) before running “ionic lib update”.
Hi,
I have updated CLI to 1.2.5 and tried to update to Ionic Beta 13. But the issue is still here. I have tried on Windows 7 (node.js v0.10.29) and Mac OS 10.9.4 (node.js v0.10.28).
Very strange…
Can u show us some of that error logs?
I am getting this error after performing a ionic lib update to beta13, when trying to load the bundle ?
SyntaxError: Unexpected token )
That error happends only in your current porject ? Try to start another app as example ( codepen.io would be nice idea, por example "ionic start appname http://codepen.io/ionic/pen/GpCst " ) and then try do what @sjerd tells to you ( ionic lib update ) in the root of your cordova project.
Tell me how it goes 
I’m also getting error after updating CLI and my project’s lib. My app just does not start. It gives following errors.
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier ionic.bundle.js:507
Uncaught ReferenceError: angular is not defined app.js:6
Uncaught ReferenceError: angular is not defined controllers.js:1
Uncaught ReferenceError: angular is not defined services.js:1
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘directive’ of undefined
There is a major bug in the CLI when using ‘ionic lib update’. Until then the only solution is to just download the latest zip and copy into your projects.
I was experiencing those errors too. Just download the zip file and extract into www/lib/ionic in your project.
I haven’t had these errors. Pushing the latest release trying to update to current version v1.0.13 with npm install -g ionic and ionic lib update told my cordova project that it was still in v1.0.12 when trying to update the lib and cached the git. so i changed my bower.json to
{
"name": "HelloIonic",
"private": "true",
"devDependencies": {
"ionic": "driftyco/ionic-bower#1.0.0-beta.13"
},
"resolutions": {
"angular": "~1.2.17"
}
}
And when trying to run ionic lib update again it got the current version v1.0.13
and experienced a bower error stating:
bower ECONFLICT unbale to find suitable version for collide
so i went to the official ionic github, found the bower.json went to ROOTOFYOURPROJECT\www\lib\ionic and changed those two bower.json files to:
{

}
Ran ionic lib update again and then it ran successful hope it helps someone!

I’m trying to update to Beta14, and your post had helped me, however there are some changes I had to do so it would be compatible with Beta14.
First off, I changed the bower.json file in the root folder of project / to be ionic version 14:
{
"name": "flight",
"private": "true",
"devDependencies": {
"ionic": "driftyco/ionic-bower#1.0.0-beta.14"
}
}
Which worked fine for me, however, the problem I ran into is that version 14 uses a new version of angular which caused me a lot of problems with the second bower.json file in /www/lib/ionic. Instead of trying to resolve all the new versions within that file, I removed the second bower.json file contained within ionic folder, using these commands:
git rm .bower.json
git rm bower.json
So, after modifying the root bower.json and deleting all the bower.json files in the ionic folder, then I navigated back to the root folder and ran ionic lib update. Then, it asked me if I wanted to proceed (yes) and this was the result:
Unable to load ionic lib version information
Are you sure you want to replace /ionic/flight_test_beta14/www/lib/ionic with an updated version of Ionic?
(yes/no): yes
Latest version: 1.0.0-beta.14 (released 2014-12-15)
Downloading: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower/archive/v1.0.0-beta.14.zip
Ionic version updated to: 1.0.0-beta.14
This seems to have worked for me. Note, that there is no bower.json file in the new structure located in the /www/lib/ionic folder, now it is version.json and correctly shows the new version:
{
"version": "1.0.0-beta.14",
"codename": "magnesium-mongoose",
"date": "2014-12-15"
}
Also I had to remove any dependencies that were not compatible with Angular 1.3 in my root bower.json before this would work properly.
I hope this helps anyone struggling to update their project the new version of Ionic Beta 14!
