Output:

My ionic info:

Ionic cli not working!

Hello @moeidsaleem!

To get around your issue, you can probably just rm ~/.ionic/daemon.json and the daemon.json file should rebuild the next time it is needed, just like it did the first time.

OTOH, if you just want to see the current contents of the file, try having a look in ~/.ionic like this::

ken@ken-Gazelle:~/projects/home/savitr (feature/planning)$ cd ~/.ionic
ken@ken-Gazelle:~/.ionic$ ls
config.json  daemon.json  daemon.log
ken@ken-Gazelle:~/.ionic$ cat daemon.json 
{
  "daemonVersion": "3.7.0",
  "latestVersions": {
    "latest": {
      "@ionic/cli-plugin-proxy": "1.4.6",
      "@ionic/cli-utils": "1.9.2",
      "ionic": "3.9.2",
      "@ionic/cli-plugin-cordova": "",
      "@ionic/cli-plugin-ionic1": "",
      "@ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular": ""
    }
  }
}

@kensodemann The issue was not created by me, but I came across the same issue. Hope this fix works for @moeidsaleem as well.

Goto this path- C:/Users/{username}/.ionic find file (ionic.config) and delete that file.

Just delete C:/Users/{username}/.ionic folder
