Ionic-cli: Ionic Cordova commands display strange numbers instead of information on Node 6.2.1

Created on 16 Jun 2016 · 12Comments · Source: ionic-team/ionic-cli

As per this forum post everytime I am running a ionic cordova command in the console, strange numbers appear instead of the cordova information. It is working fine when using cordova directly.

We got this reported in Windows10, Ubuntu and MacOS.

Here are some examples:

@jthoms1 had some extra time and did a checklist
This is for Windows 10 x64 (naturally a check mark means it works)

I can confirm that in my case the reason is the version of node/npm

Fresh installation (node + npm + cordova + ionic) with node v4.4.5 + npm v2.15.5 = it worked fine.
Fresh installation with node v6.2.1 + npm v3.9.3 = gave the error above.

@dmastag Could you try a version of node that is lower than 6? Thanks!

jthoms1 on 16 Jun 2016

@jthoms1 just tried it out and can confirm that it is working as usual on Node 5.11. Let me change the Subject of the Issue to reflect where the problem is. Should the issue be now closed or left open for future Node 6 support?

I think it is somehow related to https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues/1078

@dmastag hey, I am encountering the same error. I switched node versions using nvm and ran ionic build still no luck. Do I have to reinstall ionic with older node version?
