Do you mean:

ionic serve

Do you mean?

npm run build --prod
npm install http-server -g
http-server ./www

Then navigate to:


http://localhost:8100

Yes , running ionic serve works fine or anything except running with --prod on any platform ! give white screen , when for example I run
ionic cordova run browser --prod
It gives me white screen when I opened the console I got the below :
Uncaught (in promise): ReferenceError: _this is not defined ReferenceError: _this is not defined

The Ionic CLI doesn’t support the ‘browser’ platform.

Hi ,
I was able to solve the issue , and it is not related to the error above ( Uncaught in promise … ) I had to track the bug by removing module by module and then found the bug that is related to database sqlite3 … anyway what I am saying there is no easy way to detect the error if it is shown on ionic --prod since the code it self is uglified and compressed , so my advice is each time we add new feature is to try to run prod mode just for testing .
