i have developed some times ago an app with ionic v.1 , now on my mac i have installed ioniv v.2, if i enter in directory project ionic v.1 and launch command " ionic serve " i receive this error message:
[ERROR] Sorry! ionic serve can only be run in an Ionic project directory.
i have tried with a tricks:
Create a new ionic app launching command
ionic start newapp blank --v1
i have copied all contents from /www ionic v.1 app directory in /www new app directory
I have copied directory /plugins from ionic v.1 app to new app directory
I have launched "cordova prepare " and " cordova platform add android "
If i launch command “ionic serve” i see a blank project and not my app
No, what you installed was most certainly the Ionic CLI in a version. Please give us the output of ionic info so we know which one exactly you installed.
Can you now please post the exact output you get when you run ionic --help and ionic serve in the ionic-v1 project directory you have?
If this doesn’t work (please post the output here anyway!) please run this command to install some stuff the v3 CLI needs for working with Ionic v1 projects: npm install --save-dev --save-exact @ionic/cli-plugin-ionic1@latest @ionic/cli-plugin-cordova@latest
Then try again to run ionic serve.
ionic --help

[ERROR] Sorry! ionic serve can only be run in an Ionic project directory.
Oh, now I notice you already have the ionic-angular plugin in your project - and also Ionic Framework 3.1.1. Where did you run ionic info before? This indicates it was in a newly created project directory with the current Ionic version. Correct?
Can you run ionic info in the folder of you Ionic v1 project please?
(Same for the npm install command I posted before by the way)
Before i have run “ionic info” in other directory, i have seen it now, sorry for the mistake
Run ionic info in my ionic v.1 directory project i receive
ionic info

What does package.json and config.xml look like in this folder?
What is the file structure in this folder? (tree should help to give an copyable overview)
We need the content of package.json and config.xml - you can leave out your project details.
The tree is also only part of the complete output - run something like tree > file.txt to get it all into a file you can upload at pastebin.
That is strange. Running npm install --save-dev --save-exact @ionic/cli-plugin-ionic1@latest @ionic/cli-plugin-cordova@latest should have added these here.
Have a look at the package.json from your newly created Ionic 3 project. Recreate what you find concerning these plugins in your package.json of the v1 project (and then change it from cli-plugin-ionic-angular to cli-plugin-ionic1!!) and then run npm install in the project directory of the v1 project.
Then ionic serve and ionic info again and give us the output.
I have followed @GabberMan suggest and it has worked.
below new ionic info

thank you for all @Sujan12, i don’t understand what it’s broken and because i need to modify ionic.project file in ionic.config.json, but it’s worked for me.
