if you remove node_modules folder and install again ionic with g "npm install -g ionic cordova"

[artpok]

Same problem, any solution to this?

[da-pingwing]

Found a fix for it:

• Open your project folder
• Open Package.json and add "reflect-metadata": "^0.1.3",
  
• run npm install on the folder

--> ionic is no longer adding reflect-metadata to the package.json

[joesleiman]

i find this solution it works:
in the Ionic Project, open:

package.json
Add this in it:

"reflect-metadata": "^0.1.3",
Then run this on console: npm install

and Then run this: 'npm rebuild or 'npm rebuild node-sass''

Ready to run ionic serve to see your app ;)

[workfluo]

For Info
I had this problem but only by installing new apps package from ionic's github (whatever the template).

For another reason i've updated node for Node Version: v6.10.2.
Since I don't have anymore this pb.
