Ionic serve keeps giving the same error, even if the error is gone, on different builds

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi everyone,

I’m a complete Ionic n00b, but I have a bit of a problem. I have a project I’m working on, and at one point during some CSS things I accidentialy removed a closing tag. So when I ran ‘ionic serve’ it gave me an error, telling me that the tag was missing.

Then I add the tag again, rerun ionic serve, and guess what…I get the same error. no matter what I did, I just keep getting the same error (tag missing). Crazy part comes next. I put back an older version of the app (one that worked), I still get the same order. I start a new Ionic project, nice and clean etc. I get the same error.

It’s like ionic is stuck in some weird state and no matter what I do, it just shows me the same error over and over.

I did the following things (with no result)

  • uninstall ionic and cordova
  • uninstall npm
  • clean npm cache
  • re-installed npm
  • re-installled cordova

error message

Runtime Error
