Ionic-app-scripts: watch failed: A watch configured to watch the following paths failed to start - 1.0.0

[gigocabrera]

Short description of the problem:

I just upgraded to RC5 and ionic-app-scripts 1.0.0. When I run ionic serve I get the following error

watch failed: A watch configured to watch the following paths failed to start. It likely that a file
 referenced does not exist: 
C:\ionic\MoneyLeash2\src\assets\**\*

I noticed that the file missing is the sw-toolbox.js. As a matter of fact, the whole folder for sw is missing

What behavior are you expecting?

I expect ionic serve to work without any errors

Which @ionic/app-scripts version are you using?
1.0.0

[gigocabrera]

Silly me, I forgot to add “sw-toolbox”: “3.4.0” to package.json :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: (duh)

[codestellar]

I have sw-toolbox as well. But still facing the same issue.

@gigocabrera how to add “sw-toolbox”: “3.4.0” to package.json?

Manually we cant do right ?

through cli?

@Abhiramkadiri I have just added it to "dependencies": { ..... } and then run npm install. I am not sure if this is the right place since I'm new to this npm stuff, but it works for me 😄

@MA-Maddin

Its not working for me @MA-Maddin

[frontdatacloud]

Try to put a service-worker.js file (which is automatically generated when you create a new Ionic project from the cli) in the 'src/' folder of your project. It worked for me ^^

try npm update
