Property 'data' does not exist on type 'ArrayBuffer'

Hello, I have this really weird problem with Ionic. On every new build/serve/lab, the following error occurs:

typescript: src/providers/city/city.ts, line: 17 
            Property 'data' does not exist on type 'ArrayBuffer'.

Here is the problematic file:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {JApiProvider} from "../j-api/j-api";
import {CityModel} from "../../models/city.model";
import "rxjs-compat/add/operator/map";

@Injectable()
export class CityProvider {

  constructor(private api: JApiProvider) {
  }

  search( name: string ) {
    console.log( response.data );
    return this.api.get( 'city', { name: name } ).map(
      response => {
        return response.data.map(
          cityData => {
            return new CityModel(
              cityData.id,
              cityData.name,
              cityData.province,
              cityData!.lat,
              cityData!.lng
            );
          }
        );
      }
    );
  }
}

The strange thing is that if I edit the file(let’s say just add a console.log(), or remove), hit “save” (so it can recompile), the problem disappears. So when the problem occurs, I make a small change, save, and then it works. Do you have any idea what the problem can be?
