Ionic Serve error with Tutorial Starter --v2 --ts

Hmm, after I was getting the blank TS starter to serve multiple times yesterday, I am getting the errors in the first post again today after booting my laptop for the first time . In fact, I recall I originally got the TS ‘tutorial’ starter to serve the first time, but then after restarting my laptop a couple of hours later that’s when I got the error. Weird.

It is the same issue as raised here:

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling webpack, typings and awesome-typescript-loader, as well as configuring TS loader settings in webpack, to no avail. I am not sure if webpack is correctly loading the loader, or what the problem is. TS files are evidently somehow not being recognised anymore.

I am hoping these issues dissipate when Ionic move to Browserify/Gulp as the build tools rather than webpack as per their recent announcement, however it would be good to have it fixed in the interim if anyone’s got any other suggestions (apart from using js files)?
