Ionic-app-scripts: Can't use minify at script section on ionic 2

[azakusilo]

I want to add the minify command to use in Ionic 2 project. After reading of this manual https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-scripts. I add the needed section to package.json.

"scripts": {
    "clean": "ionic-app-scripts clean",
    "build": "ionic-app-scripts build",
    "minify": "ionic-app-scripts minify",
    "ionic:build": "ionic-app-scripts build",
    "ionic:serve": "ionic-app-scripts serve"
}

Run npm run minify. And occurs a error:

rce

How to fix it? I have lastest Ionic v.3 and ionic-app-script v.1.3.2

[danbucholtz]

I don't think it's on our road map to fix this due to app-scripts evolving. Sorry! Best bet is to just use ionic build --prod.

Thanks,
Dan

@danbucholtz For me "npm run build --prod" and "npm run build" works perfectly.
But "npm run minify" shows error: "Error: Cannot read property 'filter' of undefined in undefined at line undefined, col undefined, pos undefined"

P.S.: ionic-app-scripts 1.3.6

[azakusilo]

For you yes. But in my case I use in templateUrl remote address to get template. And --prod flag not working. :(

Keeps happening.

If it's not going to be fixed perhaps removing the references to the minify task on the README.md would be somewhat useful to avoid further reports like this. I would be way better though to get some light on how to solve it.
