Npm install dependencies issues, and ionic run fails

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Posted this as an issue on github, but getting nowhere…

After doing a fresh install (fresh npm, install ionic and cordova from scratch and generating the default app v2, when running npm install i get this:

npm install npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@^1.0.0 (node_modules\chokidar\node_modules\fsevents): npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.0.14: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"}) npm WARN @angular/compiler-cli@0.6.4 requires a peer of @angular/compiler@2.0.2 but none was installed. npm WARN @angular/compiler-cli@0.6.4 requires a peer of @angular/platform-server@2.0.2 but none was installed. npm WARN @angular/compiler-cli@0.6.4 requires a peer of @angular/core@2.0.2 but none was installed. npm WARN @angular/core@2.1.0 requires a peer of rxjs@5.0.0-beta.12 but none was installed. npm WARN @angular/http@2.1.0 requires a peer of rxjs@5.0.0-beta.12 but none was installed.

environment is fully up to date, no changes to default demo app

after forcing dependencies to the exact versions (removing the ^ everywhere) npm install goes through, but now ionic run android fails miserably.

more details here:

None of those npm install messages are strictly errors, they all say WARN.

3

That would be ok if ionic run android would not fail.

The fact that ionic run android fails may be unrelated to those npm install warnings. I see those warnings too if I create a new project, but I can run the app in Android just fine.

Raised an issue about dependency versions here anyway: ionic2-app-base#94.

thanks for the help.

ionic build also throws an error.
And i did make sure that the environment is clean and up to date.

Managed to workaround the dependencies issues by forcing:
"@angular/compiler-cli": "0.6.2", "rxjs": "5.0.0-beta.12",
and upgrading to app-scripts@0.0.33 (not needed though)
notice no more ^ for these.
and now npm install works fine.

but when issuing ionic build i get an error:
[14:32:45] ionic-app-scripts 0.0.30 [14:32:45] build prod started ... [14:32:45] clean started ... [14:32:45] clean finished in 14 ms [14:32:45] copy started ... [14:32:45] ngc started ...

Resource file not found: D:/home.html at Object.resourceLoader.get (D:\#Radoo\www\new-app\node_modules\@angular\compiler-cli\src\codegen.js:123:27)

as mentioned, environment completely clean, so it’s surprising you are not getting this.

seems to have been something related to the environment.
I am now getting only app related errors (due to upgrades and changes in various packages) but at least the blank app works as expected, with the respective workarounds.
thank you
