Ionic2 rc0 (ionic cli 2.1): out of the box tutorial template ionic serve fails

andrei_diaconescu · September 28, 2016, 8:39am

Hello,

I installed the latest version of ionic cli, like this:

npm remove -g ionic
npm install -g ionic

when i type ionic i see the version of ionic cli:

ionic
  _             _          
 (_)           (_)         
  _  ___  _ __  _  ___     
 | |/ _ \| '_ \| |/ __| 
 | | (_) | | | | | (__     
 |_|\___/|_| |_|_|\___|  CLI v2.1.0

Then i install a new project like this:

ionic start mobile_app_poc_ionic2 tutorial --v2

then i run

ionic serve

and i get error:

Running 'serve:before' npm script before serve

You need to update npm package also

npm install -g npm

use ionic start ... --verbose to get more information
I just update recently also and got the same problem because of this

rdlabo · September 28, 2016, 9:05am

maybe you should update ionic-cli.

so You must check npm outdated.

npm outdated -g

and update ionic latest version.

andrei_diaconescu · September 28, 2016, 9:14am

Strange… for me it still does not work:

i updated npm to latest version

npm --version
3.10.8

i again removed ionic cli and added it again

npm remove -g ionic
npm install -g ionic

then i install the tutorial project again:

ionic start mobile_app_poc_ionic2 tutorial --v2

and i run

ionic serve

and i get errors:

wienzzz · September 28, 2016, 9:19am

can you try --verbose on ionic start command?

ionic start mobile_app_poc_ionic2 tutorial --v2 --verbose

And see any warning or error message that might appear

kesozjura · September 28, 2016, 9:21am

I had this issue too, you have to install node js 6.7

andrei_diaconescu · September 28, 2016, 9:22am

i have node 4.6 (LTS);
i will try to upgrade

andrei_diaconescu · September 28, 2016, 10:17am

Thank you !
I installed node 6.7 and ionic serve worked.

laurentc · September 30, 2016, 9:39am

Hi
9 times out of 10 I have “build dev failed” when I run serve.
Did I missed something ?

Cordova CLI: 6.2.0
Ionic Framework Version: 2.0.0-rc.0
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.0
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.0-beta.1
Node Version: v6.7.0

andrei_diaconescu · September 30, 2016, 10:11am

maybe you need also npm 3

laurentc · September 30, 2016, 10:47am

I already have npm 3.9.3, updated to 3.10.8 but same thing

maxx0r · September 30, 2016, 11:42am

Node 5 is dead. Either use 4 of 6. I’m on 4 and its working fine

laurentc · September 30, 2016, 12:40pm

Under Windows 7, it’s working much better with Node 4.6 !

laurentc · September 30, 2016, 1:38pm

Mmmmm I still have a lot of “build dev failed”… Realy don’t know how to get a stable build process with Serve and Run android

adchir · September 30, 2016, 3:45pm

I had the same issue. Ctrl + C before you run “ionic serve”, will help. I don’t know why, but it seems to work for me.

amityadav · October 1, 2016, 6:30am

After this error, run npm install , if you get some error related to git , than follow below steps, it resolved for me:
Go to https://git-for-windows.github.io/ and install git
than open git cmd
run below command:
git config --global url.“https://”.insteadOf git://

This resolved issues for me

radek79 · October 2, 2016, 4:21am

I had a similar problem. According to https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#copying-your-project-to-a-new-project you should not be on an ionic beta version. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling ionic cli globally and it still tells me I have version 2.0.0-beta.23.
My current workaround is to run npm run build. Otherwise it seems that ionic serve expects the www contents to already be built. I have npm version 3.10.3 node version 6.7.0. I hope this helps.

laurentc · October 3, 2016, 5:19pm

OK I found that I have to manualy remouve the .tmp folder content to avoid the build failed … Don’t know why it is not properly done when I run Serve or Run.

NyaO · October 17, 2016, 12:30pm

Yes! Me too! Magic in Action!
