Ionic serve --nobrowser still looks for browser, if address specified

I want to run the ng server as a draft publication environment for my app. Specifying --nobrowser results in an error message below, if an address is specified.

[root@ip-172-26-10-161 frontend]# ionic serve -b --address 34.196.102.3 -p 8100
[INFO] Starting app-scripts server: --nobrowser --b --address 34.196.102.3 --p 8100 --port 8100 --livereload-port 35729 --r 35729 - Ctrl+C to cancel

TypeError: Cannot read property ‘launchBrowser’ of undefined

This sounds like a simple and clear bug.

But, there is a newer version of the things that could cause this:

You should upgrade this first to see if this solves the problem.

And what is the last version @ionic/app-scripts ?

See here: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-app-scripts/releases

I just update to the latest version and the error continue

The latest version is @ionic/app-scripts : 2.1.3

Then it sounds like a case for an issue.

@Sujan12 seems the error is in the new version of ionic 3.6.0.
After several hours, i have to downgrade to version 3.5.0, i delete the node_modules/ folder, npm install again and the problem is resolved.

Then add this information to the issue you will create. Later post a link to the issue here as well please.
