Please Help! Can't run any ionic program because of npm error

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

A team and I are build an app ass a school project and everything was going fine until we migrated to the 2.1.0 version. Everything is up to date. I believe this problem might be related to the Mac OS Sierra upgrade but I can’t seem to find anybody else with this problem or a solution. I’m quite desperate because I can’t program without testing.

J@Javiers-MacBook-Air  ~/Desktop/ITESM_ISC/Semestre7/LDAW : AMSS/Progra  node -v
v6.7.0

J@Javiers-MacBook-Air  ~/Desktop/ITESM_ISC/Semestre7/LDAW : AMSS/Progra  npm -v
3.10.7

I’ve deleted, reinstalled and updated all of these: Node, Npm, ionic.

Inside the project I delete node_modules and run “npm install”, its successful but I get a few of these warnings;

Thanks in advance.

Can't run any Ionic application after upgrading Mac to 10.12

Have you tried uninstalling Node and installing v4.6.0 instead?

I just tried that, but It’s still not working

This is the npm-debug.log

Hum, have you updated the ionic app scripts?

5

I ran
npm install -g npm-check-updates

And then
npm update

after that
ncu -a/--upgradeAll

and got

I’m not sure if you were referring to that.

Managed to solve it by making a global install 0.0.29 version of app-scripts. Works now, but shouldn’t this be done when you install ionic?

7

I think app-script version 0.0.29 can only be installed using latest node. I encountered this problem and I used node 6.7.0 before creating a project to avoid this error in future projects.

I am having the same issue here

Trying to build a production app on a Mac Mini. The Build fails on that machine, but works on my Macboko Pro…
I already tried installing app-scripts as a global module, but that didn’t work either…

No matter which ionic command I try to execute, I always get the same error…

Does anybody has a clue how one is supposed to fix this?
