I’m setting up Ionic on a new Windows 7 laptop, and having trouble building for Android with the --debug flag. Interestingly I can build using the --prod flag.
I’m new to Ionic so it’s very possible I’m making a silly mistake.
I’m building --debug like this:
ionic cordova build android --debug
My old Win laptop with, I believe, an identical setup, can build the same project just fine. Here’s the output of “ionic cordova build android --debug --verbose” on my old (working) laptop:
My new laptop fails the same command with:
LENOVO USER@Bivotron2 MINGW64 /d/Projects/ionic_projects/project1 (master)
$ ionic cordova build android --debug --verbose

Generating ES5 bundles for differential loading...It then freezes. Previously it would error out with a timeout, but now it just freezes there, possibly because I changed the version of Node to match the working laptop.
Interestingly the non working laptop can build with the --prod flag just fine.
ionic cordova build android --prod
Both laptops are running the same version of Windows (Win7), and Node (12.13.1). They’re different versions of Ionic though (working laptop is 5.4.9, non-working laptop is 5.4.13).
Is there anything else I should be looking for or should check?
Thanks for any help, and please let me know if I should post any other debug info.
