Ionic-framework: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open d:\ionic2app\www\index.html'

[junaidahmed93]

I am trying to run Ionic project using ionic serve, but facing Error: ENOENT : no such file or directory, open d:\ionic2app\www\index.html
I have update ionic but still no luck.

Hello, thanks for opening an issue with us. Would you mind telling me what version of the ionic-cli you are using? You can just run ionic --version to get the version.

[junaidahmed93]

Ionic version is 2.1.0

[keithmattix]

I believe the reason for this is that the build step isn't being run. I'm still getting errors because ionic serve is looking for a gulpfile

[comfortme]

probably this issue happens because of npm version.
ionic requires npm version 3

[keithmattix]

I updated, uninstalled, and reinstalled

@junaidahmed93 and @keithmattix what version of nodejs and NPM are you all running? Thanks!

[keithmattix]

I'm using nvm doing node 6.7.0 and npm 3.10.3

[jgw96]

@keithmattix what version of the ionic cli are you using?

[keithmattix]

Hm, it says 2.0.0-beta.23...I just uninstalled and reinstalled today.

[junaidahmed93]

@jgw96 My Node version is 4.5 and npm 3.10.8

[jgw96]

@keithmattix can you run npm uninstall -g ionic and npm install -g ionic. The beta flag is no longer required (: @junaidahmed93 are you getting this error with a beta.11 app or an RC.0 app?

[junaidahmed93]

@jgw96 I am getting this error with RC.0 app.

[keithmattix]

Same; mine is an rc.0 app

[bergmito]

I am getting this error with RC.0 app.

It seems that the files of pages directory, is not compiling for the build folder.

[jgw96]

@bergmito are you running Ionic cli version 2.1.0?

[bergmito]

Yes, i'm running Ionic cli version 2.1.0.

Solve my problem, changing template url from components.

Before: templateUrl: 'build/pages/configs/configs.html',
Now: templateUrl: 'configs.html',

[keithmattix]

Ah, I figured out my problem. My old nvm version didn't allow my ionic binary to update

[junaidahmed93]

@jgw96 , My problem is solved by updating ionic (nothing changes in version but app is working now strange). Thanks

[bergmito]

Tanks for all

[jgw96]

@bergmito you can check out our changelog update instructions for all the upgrade instructions. Since it seems like this issue was fixed for everyone I am going to close this issue for now. Thanks!

I am still facing this issue.

I tried multiple times to update ionic but even though my npm list shows ionic version as 2.1.0

my ionic --version command shows beta.25

so even after I updated and created a new project it is still not able to start and getting this same error.

@balasivagnanam I think may be you have to do:
npm uninstall -g ionic@beta (with sudo if you need those permissions)
To get the beta disapear.

Hope this will help you.

[balasivagnanam]

@Rafael300890 thannks,

I solved by :

if you get ionic -v even after uninstalling..

run where ionic and find out the location of your installtion.

for me there was a version installed in

C:\>where ionic
C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\ionic
C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\ionic.cmd

I am not sure how it went there last time. but after manually deleting them, My ionic cli is now updated and my project is able to render in browser.

Thanks a lot

[pedrotnascimento]

@keithmattix So what did you do with nvm? this may solve for me too as I use nvm.

[xanisu]

solved, I also need to uninstall my beta version and reinstall, just done:

npm uninstall -g ionic@beta
npm install -g ionic

ensure that u have the above code in package.json file.......................

[JackZhang1988]

There has nothing wrong with the Ionic version, these error cause by the lack of build script in package.json.

I use ionic start myproject tab --v2 and ionic start myproject tutorial --v2 command start two project, i found the package.json file are different.

In tab project, there is no "serve:before": "watch", script in package.json. there won't build the necessary file before you run ionic serve

so make sure you have below script in your package.json:

"scripts": {
"build": "ionic-app-scripts build",
"watch": "ionic-app-scripts watch",
"serve:before": "watch",
"emulate:before": "build",
"deploy:before": "build",
"build:before": "build",
"run:before": "build"
},

[scamianbas]

Thank you very much Jack, that fixed my issue. I used ionic start --v2 myApp sidemenu. I guess the correct package.json was the one for tutorial ?
