Ionic-app-scripts: ionic 2 watch typescript not working

[jgw96]

_From @balicekt on October 19, 2016 10:39_

I wanted to try new ionic 2. I made this steps:

ionic start HelloWorld --v2
cd HelloWorld
ionic serve

until now is everything OK. BUT when I go to folder src/pages/home and adjust file home.ts nothing is hapening watcher is not working but when I adjust file home.html watcher is working well console show changes and browser automatically refresh page.

Does anyone know why in ionic 2 watcher does not working with typescript files? Or is there something I did wrong? Also in Ionic project is no gulpfile.js anymore.

I will be glad for any help.

Thank you

Same issue here, since last update, ts does not compile anymore.

Since I've updated to beta version (npm install @ionic/app-scripts@beta) the ionic serve is not creating a server at localhost:8100.

Same issue here. With beta @ionic/[email protected] the ionic serve command just hangs after build, and livereload is never started:

[16:46:03]  ionic-app-scripts 0.0.37
[16:46:03]  watch started ...
[16:46:03]  build dev started ...
[16:46:03]  clean started ...
[16:46:03]  clean finished in 12 ms
[16:46:03]  copy started ...
[16:46:03]  transpile started ...

This issue only occurs on my Windows 7 machine. On Mac OS X the same project serves fine with live reload.

@pierrepastre and @glaucocustodio are you all also on windows?

[glaucocustodio]

I am on OS X Yosemite and Ionic RC.1.

[balicekt]

OS X Sierra RC1 - now I updated npm, ionic, cordova and typoscript started working but not everything typoscript is working now but src/assets is not working when I mage new file for example src/assets/i18n/en.json it also make new file in www/assets/i18n... but when I make update in this json it won't appear in www file.

[pierrepastre]

OSX sierra here, ionic 2.1.1, cordova 6.3.1

[danbucholtz]

We'll look into it. Glad to hear it's not just Windows.

Thanks,
Dan

I have the same issue on Windows 10, but OS X Sierra works fine.

[morrisonbrett]

I'm also seeing it on Ubuntu. See output here: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/issues/8920#issuecomment-256492785

[danbucholtz]

This issue is fixed here. We are going to release @ionic/[email protected] tomorrow and it will be in that.

Thanks,
Dan

Great. Wow - Been using .37-2 all day. Webpack - so much faster on watch/build/refresh cycle.

[glaucocustodio]

After I update to "@ionic/app-scripts": "0.0.37-3" ionic serve was not working because the manifest.json file was missing.

[morrisonbrett]

I recommend you put manifest.json in the root of /src. I had it somewhere else (and referred to it in index.html), but it seems to be safer if you leave it at root (where I guess some code is assuming it will be).
