Bug: Ionic serve failed to load (typescript 0.0.47 and 0.0.48)

[thinktinker]

Everytime I save a page, the page does not refresh in the web browser (ionic serve -all)

Looking at my terminal console, I get the following error.

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 5): TypeError: Cannot read property 'send' of undefined

I'm using ionic 2.1.8 (typescript 0.0.47), node 6.9.1, running on ubuntu 16.04.

It looks like you have an unhandled promise rejection in your code. Try looking for the usage of the .send function and see if you are missing a .catch(console.log) on that promise.

It was a fresh project downloaded (ionic start myApp blank --v2 --ts), and the only thing I changed was the home.html file with some basic text.

What I observed is that current fresh 'blank' projects loaded uses the (0.0.47 typescript), which all this while whenever I download a new project previously, the console prompts me I'm using 0.0.45 typescript, which runs perfectly well on my current install of ionic CLI 2.1.8, with nodejs 6.9.1.

Could it be possible that the starter files using typesript 0.0.47 on the repo has bugs or are broken, or incompatible with my current ionic + nodejs install?

Appreciate further advise here. Thank you.

Could you please update to ionic-app-scripts version 0.0.48 and probably also share ionic info output.

[thinktinker]

The problem persists though I installed the latest app-script (0.0.48). When I update home.html, the error in bold further below shows up. Any advise?

My ionic info

Ionic Framework Version: 2.0.0-rc.4
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.8
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.4
Ionic App Scripts Version: 0.0.48

ios-sim version: Not installed
OS: Linux 4.4
Node Version: v6.9.1
Xcode version: Not installed

When I run ionic serve and update home.html

ionic-hello-world@ ionic:serve /build/myapp
ionic-app-scripts serve

Which version of typescript are you using? Also please ensure you have latest ionic cli installed.

npm install -g ionic@latest

[thinktinker]

Within my package.json dependencies, it states "typescript": "2.0.9".
I'm practically working on brand new 'blank project', and only started inputing some text in the home.html file.
What is the current version of CLI now? My info says I'm using Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.8.
Does either of the above two break the ionic serve process?

[thinktinker]

Now everything just broke Having done the following:

1. npm install @ionic/app-scripts@latest
2. npm install -g ionic/latest

Nothing compiles now, with the below output error:

@thinktinker : seems like your ionic latest update was not installed successfully. Please try running command npm install -g ionic@latest and ensure it runs fully. Also delete node_modules from project folder and re-run npm install in project.

[thinktinker]

Have been doing this for one whole night.
I'm certain that the new blank starter projects have dependencies that do not work with my current ionic set up - which is an older set up (below). It's a shame. Shouldn't there be some backward compatibility of the starter projects with previous RCs of ionic 2?
This is my current set up
Ionic Framework Version: 2.0.0-rc.4
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.8
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.4
Ionic App Scripts Version: 0.0.48
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: Not installed
OS: Linux 4.4
Node Version: v6.9.1

Hi jgw96. Is this issue fixed?
