OSX Error (v8flags) after npm update ionic

I did a npm update but get an error. Tried to install again and have the same error :

sudo npm install -g ionic
     
    > v8flags@1.0.5 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/gulp/node_modules/v8flags
    > node fetch.js

What version of node do you have?

Same here.

Node version is v0.10.33

Appears to be an issue with v8flags and/or gulp maybe?

Would one of you mind opening an issue for this?

Please link back to the forum post

Node version is 0.10.33 and OSX 10.9.5. I fixed it few hours ago.
It seems to be an issue with v8flags : when I run

sudo npm install -g v8flags

I have the following error :

>  v8flags@1.0.6 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/v8flags
> node fetch.js

So I installed gulp version 3.8.8 (by running sudo npm install -g gulp@3.8.8) with success (no v8flags dependency). Then I downloaded ionic-cli source, removed v8flags dependency from npm-shrinkwrap.json file and, last, installed it from local source (npm install /ionic-cli-master -g). Install was successfull.
All is working fine now… :smile:

Looks like this was resolved. I thought (with the usual grain of insanity) that I would just try “one more time” this morning and the standard installation went through perfectly. Thanks!

good to hear. We fixed the cli yesterday and pushed out a new release. It should be version 1.2.13 now
