Ionic-app-scripts: Can't install 1.3.7 on Windows

[Peluko]

Short description of the problem:

Can't do ionic serve because I can't install ionic-app-scripts on Windows 10 64 bits

What behavior are you expecting?

ionic serve must install ionic-app-scripts and run smoothly on Windows 10 64 bits

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new ionic app with the latest cli on Windows 10 64 bits
2. Run ionic serve on the project
3. It requests ionic-app-scripts, but the installation fails while installing node-sass

The problem is that ionic-app-scripts 1.3.7 refers to node-sass 4.5.0. The node-sass installation request for precompiled binaries, which can't be found for my Windows 10 64 bits platform (request for https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.5.0/win32-x64-57_binding.node receiving a 404). This binaries can't be downloaded and then fails trying to compile sass.

node-sass 4.5.3 installs perfectly on Windows, so the solution might be to upgrade the reference.

It has already been updated, but the new version has not been published to npm for some reason.
As a side note - installing app-scripts from git repo url gives error on ionic serve and other related commands. (Cannot find module @ionic/app-scripts). Is there any way to get rid of this issue?

[Peluko]

Yeah, I've just seen that. But I want to do some demos, so I need it on npm, pleeease!!

It can not be released to npm as it hasn't be tagged and released yet.

Are you using node8/npm5 by chance? If so, this change is the reason why this doesn't work yet. use another version for now.

Well, I've downgraded to node 7.10.0/npm 4.2.0 and now it works again. Thanks!

with npm install -g [email protected] you can downgrade npm

npm install @angular/tsc-wrapped (inside the project) did it for me.
