Ionic-cli: "TypeErrpr: Cannot read property 'includes' of undefined".

[jgw96]

_From @Zerokk on May 15, 2017 8:19_

Ionic version: (check one with "x")
[ ] 1.x
[ ] 2.x
[x ] 3.x

I'm submitting a ... (check one with "x")
[x ] bug report
[ ] feature request
[ ] support request => Please do not submit support requests here, use one of these channels: https://forum.ionicframework.com/ or http://ionicworldwide.herokuapp.com/

Current behavior:
I was using the Ionic 3 beta CLI, and tried to install the ConnectivityService. It couldn't work in that version, so I performed a clean uninstall of ionic, and then, a new install aiming to ionic@latest. It gave a dependency error on app-scripts, so I used the following command:

npm install --save @ionic/app-scripts@^1.3.1

Then, I used again "npm install -g ionic@latest". After that, everything stopped working. I can't do anything with ionic anymore; I just keep having the same error with whatever I do: "TypeErrpr: Cannot read property 'includes' of undefined". It doesn't matter if I uninstall it and install it again; I just can't get it working.

Expected behavior:
The new version should have been properly installed and the provider, too.

Steps to reproduce:
(already told)

Any help regarding this? My project is stopped from this point and I can't get to test anything.

@Zerokk We need your current ionic info output and content of packages.json.

[Zerokk]

Hi @piotrowski, here you have all the package.json contents. "ionic info" won't send any other message than the TypeError bug I'm begging help for...

Hmm, does it really say this:

"": "4.0.0",
"": "4.0.0",
"": "4.0.0",
"": "4.0.0",
"": "4.0.0",
"": "4.0.0",
"": "4.0.0",
"": "4.0.0",

Empty strings in "?

[janpio]

Please give us the output of this command:
npm list -g --depth=0

[Zerokk]

The package.json got wrong when pasting, idk why. Here you have the good one:

Here you have the npm listing:

Ok.

package.json shows you using some pretty old stuff. You should definitely take care of @ionic/app-scripts and the both @ionic-cli-plugins. But first your have to fix the bad stuff:

• @ionic/app-scripts should not be a dependency but a devDependency, delete that line.
• Then uninstall Ionic globally: npm uninstall -g ionic. Make sure it is actually gone with npm list -g --depth=0
• Then install it again using this command: npm install -g ionic - that should be enough.
• By the way: What node and npm versions are you using? Maybe just delete your node when you uninstalled Ionic and reinstall via nvm - much cleaner and easier to keep working

@piotrowski Which lines should I delete from package.json before performing the reinstall? By the way, my node version is 7.9.

Thank you this far! :)

[janpio]

Delete this one: "@ionic/app-scripts": "^1.3.1", in dependencies.

[Zerokk]

I keep getting the same error after performing all of this...

Here is the output when I use the --verbose option:

[DEBUG] Checking for latest plugin version of ionic@latest.
"3.0.0"

[DEBUG] Latest version of ionic@latest is .

[janpio]

What command gives you this output?

Maybe fix for this:

npm install --save-dev --save-exact @ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular@latest
npm install --save-dev --save-exact @ionic/cli-plugin-cordova@latest

[janpio]

Maybe also check this:

[Zerokk]

Thank you @piotrowski, you just fixed it! Installing those libraries just fixed my problem.

Many thanks!
