Ionic-app-scripts: Cannot read property '0' of undefined - on 3.6.0

Created on 28 Jul 2017  路  8Comments  路  Source: ionic-team/ionic-app-scripts

Short description of the problem:

I tried to follow the steps for ionic release 3.6.0 and when I try to install app-scripts I get the error shown below

https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/releases

gigocabrera@Macintosh:~/Documents/ionic/CajaFuerte-app$ npm install @ionic/app-scripts@latest --save-dev

What behavior are you expecting?

I was expecting the upgrade to work without any issues

Steps to reproduce:

  1. npm install -g ionic@latest
  2. npm install @ionic/app-scripts@latest --save-dev
  3. npm install ionic-angular@latest --save

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

Other information:

ionic info is not working anymore but here's a copy of my package.json

(one month later :p)
npm install npm@latest -g

npm 5.4.1 solved this issue

EDIT: Finally, 5.4.1 not working (another issue)
npm install [email protected] -g (downgrade to 5.0.3 working)

@jeromeXoo I have exactly the same problem like you, and when I use [email protected] downgrade it start working.
Before I used 5.3.0 and update it to 5.4.1 but I get the same error.

This is a known, and rather odd, bug with npm:

F*cking NPM version 5 man, I have seen so many bugs with NPM version 5.x

++ the 5.0.3 downgrade kludge works for me as well. Thanks.

Downgrade still works like a charm with old projects.
