Ionic-cli: Trying to start with --v2 --ts throws an error

[brandyscarney]

_From @KerryRitter on April 30, 2016 16:31_

Here is my command line output:

Running the install without the --ts argument works as expected.

What's your node version, npm version and ionic cli version

[brandyscarney]

_From @KerryRitter on May 1, 2016 13:55_

Sorry bout that.

npm -v = 3.3.12
node -v = 5.1.0
ionic-v = 2.0.0-beta.25

[brandyscarney]

_From @vg33 on May 17, 2016 6:48_

I'm having exactly the same issue, with the following versions:

npm -v = 3.3.12
node -v = 5.4.0
ionic -v = 2.0.0-beta.25

Any suggestions?

[KerryRitter]

After the latest update (or re-install), i'm no longer having this problem. Perhaps it is resolved.

[cfjedimaster]

I'm having the issue with Node 5.11. Will try updating to 5.4.

[cfjedimaster]

Sorry - ignore my last comment. I did a reinstall of Ionic and I'm not at beta.26. I still have the same issue, _unless_ I use sudo to make the app.

So... maybe I was wrong to use sudo to install ionic? But I had done that before with v1 and had no problem making apps.

I don't quite see how using sudo to install the Ionic CLI would make the _apps_ generated by it not work right unless run with sudo.

I know some folks recommend against using sudo when installing CLI apps globally, but I always thought it was more a suggestion then anything else.

[104player]

I'm having the same issue with

npm -v = 1.3.10
node -v = v0.10.25
ionic -v = 2.0.0-beta.30

(on Ubuntu 14.04)

I previously had ionic 1.0 installed,
but have run this as root:
npm uninstall -g ionic ; npm uninstall -g cordova ; npm cache clear ; npm cache clean
to clean up before installing the beta

** except in my case I get the same error with --v2 or with both --v2 and --ts
(using "blank" or "tabs" base project)

The following all give the same error:
ionic start beta2 --v2
ionic start beta2 blank --v2
ionic start betawesome blank --v2 --ts
sudo ionic start betawesome blank --v2 --ts

This Works:
ionic start dummy
(but of course I get a v1 app)

[vg33]

On OSX I resolved this by installing npm as non-root. I followed the steps in the following article: https://johnpapa.net/how-to-use-npm-global-without-sudo-on-osx/

Now it works like a charm.

[jthoms1]

@104player The beta requires at least node v0.12. Could you please update and try the command again?

[104player]

Thanks!
Good to know...
I'm just using the node and npm that Ubuntu 14.04 gives me at the moment.

• for now I am using Docker to get my node 5 as a workaround:

Dockerfile

FROM node:5-onbuild
RUN npm install -g ionic@beta

---

docker build -t ionic-beta .

docker run -t -i -v $HOME/git/ionic/:/ionic/ ionic-beta /bin/bash

then I can run it..

• still have to try a nice way to fix up permissions, for now doing
  chown -R 1000 .
  as needed

[jthoms1]

@104player Usually Ubuntu has old versions of node available within their distribution network. Luckly nodesource hosts new versions. If you would like to update your native os distro instead of using docker you can follow these instructions. https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#installation-instructions

[karthikarul20]

in my case, i was using very old npm (version less that less than 2.0).
i made it working by updating the npm to 3.9.5.

[jthoms1]

The error provided is very general and appears to not be providing enough insight for CLI users. I will work on improving this messaging so that we can get better details.

Usually providing the --verbose flag and provide more insight into the issue that is occuring.
Example: ionic start cutePuppyPics --v2 --verbose

[hhiptmair]

I'm getting the same error on OS X 10.11.5 with npm 3.10.3, node v4.4.7 and ionic 2.0.0-beta.32.

Running ionic start cutePuppyPics --v2 --verbose gives (skipping the beginning as everything seems to be okay there):

EDIT: sorry, maybe I was a bit too fast before asking here. after removing node and npm and installing it again, it works now

[jthoms1]

@hhiptmair Looks like you might have installed node as admin. Could you try running the start command with sudo? sudo ionic start cutePuppyPics --v2 --verbose

[hhiptmair]

@jthoms1 yep, you were right. i was able to recreate this issue by installing node as admin and then it worked running ionic with sudo.
nevertheless, i think the better solution is to fix the node-installation. for me, this was done by removing node and npm completely and then just using the official installer.
thanks for your help!

[jthoms1]

I am closing this issue. It has been kind of a catch all for npm install issues from ionic start. If you are having issues please try running with the verbose flag.

sudo ionic start cutePuppyPics --v2 --verbose

This should provide more insight into what is happening. In most cases it will report issues with network connectivity or permissions issues. If this is not the case please open an issue with your ionic info output.

I had a same issue when starting a new ionic project with ionic start projectname blank --v2 command on Windows 7.

Error with start undefined
Error Initializing app: There was an error with the spawned command: npminstall
There was an error with the spawned command: npminstall

The issue is now fixed.

My methods are:

1. Choose the option "Run Git from Windows Command Prompt" when reinstalling Git.
2. Right click the Command Prompt and choose Run as an administrator (It is not permitted to make any changes, e.g: mkdir or install, with my user account. Don't know why).

[csotomon]

On mac the problem is the npm sudo permissions.

To solve this, you can see https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

[zzrv5]

@chenbobowu Thanks！！！

I wonder if this is anything new as for the ionic and npm. I have node and npm installed as root and doing sudo npm install -g all the time - has something changed in ionic regarding this? if so is this really necessary?

[kodrr]

Thanks @sierran, fixed by installing git.

I just followed the node and npm installation here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcUfdajsKg8
and for the ionic installation I just followed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geuW_BjR9hE.

Then upon creating my first up using
sudo ionic start myApp tutotial --v2

There was an error with the spawned command: npminstall

Do
sudo apt-get install git
then run again
sudo ionic start myApp tutotial --v2

[ciekawy]

just a BTW note - I've hit exactly same issue (There was an error with the spawned command: npminstall) yet in my case the reason was completely different (which possibly could help someone). I was recently changing the .npmrc to use some private repository and the solution was to just clear the bogus values (or simply remove the .npmrc)

[leobaiano]

I had the same problem and to resolve needed only update the nodejs.

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

UPDATE

Solved starting the command prompt with administrator privileges

[Lafaa]

starting the console as administrator doesn't seem to solve anything for me. I tried to install python on the pc, but it didn't help too :(

[abdallahnh]

Hi i Have the same issue,starting the console as administrator doesn't seem to solve anything for me.

[Lafaa]

Installing git seems to solve the problem

[abdallahnh]

@Lafaa
Thanks for the info, but please can you tell me which git you installed, as i already have gitbatch installed.

[Lafaa]

I installed the last version from here https://git-scm.com/downloads !

[abdallahnh]

@Lafaa
Appreciated your help, i confirm that installing git (and selecting for windows command line) fixed the issue for me.

Thanks.

[haxpor]

For me, on Mac OS X 10.12 and the following info viasudo ionic info.

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 6.3.0
Gulp version:  CLI version 1.2.2
Gulp local:
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.0
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.0.0-beta.20
ios-deploy version: 1.8.6
ios-sim version: 5.0.8
OS: Mac OS X El Capitan
Node Version: v4.6.0
Xcode version: Xcode 8.0 Build version 8A218a

It turns out I created ionic 2 project on folder with group name other than wheel. Thus even executing command via sudo it still show the same error. I then have to do sudo chgrp -R usrname /folder/myfolder (just put your username and folder there). Then it's successfully run without error.

PS. Why OS returns El Capitan instead of Sierra, as I'm on Sierra.

[error505]

For me it was only to upgrade to new version of npm
npm install -g npm

@intheb0x do you have python installed? One of the errors seems to be it being unable to find the python executable on your system. Additionally, try updating npm.

[zjw1918]

Run into this problem very offen, at last, remove totally the .nvm dir, then reinstall nvm, node, ionic, cordova. Then run 'ionic start xxx --v2', will be ok.

[cfjedimaster]

Running into this again. Previously it was on a Mac, now on PC.

[cfjedimaster]

Sorry - it was npm - for some reason - reverting to an older version.

After hours of research I finally got it working by installing node-sass globally.

Upgrading npm solve it for me.

[mkelly1495]

None of these solutions work for me. I ran command line as administrator. I cleared the npm cache. I upgraded npm. I installed node-sass globally. I re-installed git, re-installed nodejs, cordova and ionic. Still the same error. It appears ionic does not work on my OS/platform combination (Win10/AMDx64). I'm new to ionic and it looks good on the website, but not being able to generate a simple app is not a confidence builder. I'm really hoping there is a simple fix to this.

npm: 4.4.4

cordova: 6.5.0

The command ionic start glg2 tabs --v2 --verbose produces the following output:

Same here, none of these solutions work for me either. Ionic looked fairly promising but I've had so much trouble trying to get anything to work I've now reluctantly given up with it and am looking at alternatives. Shame really.

[Blueblazer172]

if anyone still needs this. here is what worked for me on --v2:

ionic start stripe-payments tabs --type ionic-angular

[emekslondon]

For me it was only to upgrade to new version of npm
npm install -g npm
