Just reproduced on the absolutely fresh-generated project and got message:

 (node:3609) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error [ERR_IPC_CHANNEL_CLOSED]: channel closed
(node:3609) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

Commands were executed:
ionic start uplTest
cd uplTest/
ionic upload

nothing else was touched.

Could you please write any commentary about this issue? Is it bug or Ionic View will not be usable anymore?

I have the same issue.

Rolled back to ionic version 3.5.0 using npm install -g [email protected] and it works fine. So somewhere between 3.5 and 3.9 it got broken.

I have to say this is one of the most important features in ionic which make the difference when compared with its competitors. It should not stay broken.

Does this happen with ionic upload --nobuild?

[e-oz]

@dwieeb actually you can try it pretty easy - it comes out of the box with newly generated project, nothing needs to be changed to reproduce :) And answer is yes, it doesn't work even with "ionic upload --nobuild". All usual things as updating npm don't help.

It's strictly related to this issue:
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/2375
And currently can be fixed by upgrading Node to 8.4.0

@e-oz Oh, weird. Okay, thanks for following up. Other people have been having these issues with upload
