RC5 - error "build dev failed: Cannot set property 'fileSystem' of null" #660

Tusharbalar · 2017-01-18T10:42:47Z

Hi,
I have this error:
"build dev failed: Cannot set property 'fileSystem' of null "

when I use "ionic serve"

but if I run "ionic build browser", everything is ok.

I've removed all my node_modules and do a fresh "npm install".
I've deleted the ".tmp" & "www" dir too, but the error still displaying.

Please, can you help me? Thanks you,
best regards

MarkChrisLevy · 2017-01-18T13:56:07Z

@markholland @Quocnamit @Tusharbalar Guys, just switch to @ionic/[email protected] - this will solve the problem :-) Ps. Read app-scripts upgrade docs, cause many changes after 0.0.46.

markholland · 2017-01-18T14:02:11Z

Guys, just switch to @ionic/[email protected] - this will solve the problem :-)

Guess it's time to resolve the reason why we stuck on 0.0.46 then

Thanks @lleevvyy

@dilipchandima Did you add the sw-toolbox dependency?

carstenbaumhoegger · 2017-01-19T08:52:47Z

I also had this error with RC3 and app-scripts 0.0.43 and it was solved by updating to RC5 with app-scripts 1.0.0.
@dilipchandima don't forget to run npm install after upgrading to app-scripts 1.0.0

Tusharbalar · 2017-01-19T17:15:53Z

@dilipchandima @Quocnamit you need to install sw-toolbox.

npm install sw-toolbox

It's solved my problem.

please read this: 2.0.0-rc.5 CHANGELOG

ebartan · 2017-01-19T21:40:23Z

its work it to me thx guys

Quocnamit · 2017-01-19T22:47:08Z

Hi,

My old version is 0.0.42. Now It's 1.0.0 👍 . So that I need to update some file name, and update my custom configuration (sass, copy, webpack,...)

Now it works for me

Thanks guys

jediwarpraptor · 2017-01-20T15:53:44Z

This worked for me, too! Thanks guys.

danbucholtz · 2017-01-23T16:06:37Z

It seems that this is user error and not app-scripts error so I'm going to close this thread.

Thanks,
Dan

almgwary · 2017-01-23T22:44:59Z

still not working after update

amrayoub · 2017-01-25T20:12:00Z

same problem with final version

danbucholtz · 2017-01-25T21:32:07Z

@almgwary, @amrayoub,

What version of @ionic/app-scripts are you running? I haven't seen this before. What OS? Can you rm -rf node_modules and do a fresh install? It should be @ionic/[email protected]

Thanks,
Dan

@amrayoub, @dilipchandima,@almgwary,
Hi,
My old ionic/app-scripts version is 0.0.45. Now It's 1.0.0.
Now it works for me...

I followed these steps

npm uninstall -g ionic
npm install -g ionic
3)Update my package.json

"dependencies": {
"@angular/common": "2.2.1",
"@angular/compiler": "2.2.1",
"@angular/compiler-cli": "2.2.1",

"sw-toolbox": "3.4.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@ionic/app-scripts": "1.0.0",
"typescript": "2.0.9"
}

npm install
Rename your src/app/man.dev.ts into the src/app/main.ts
ionic serve

gtzinos · 2017-02-04T07:15:49Z

Hello guys,
Same problem. Just follow these instructions:

npm uninstall -g ionic
npm install -g ionic
Open package.json
Check all of them:

"dependencies": {
"@angular/common": "2.2.1",
"@angular/compiler": "2.2.1",
"@angular/compiler-cli": "2.2.1",
"@angular/core": "2.2.1",

"ionic-native": "2.2.11",

"sw-toolbox": "3.4.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@ionic/app-scripts": "1.0.0",
"typescript": "2.0.9"
}

webberig · 2017-02-06T08:40:31Z

ionic-app-scripts depends on webpack version ^2.1.0-beta.25 and currently installs 2.1.1 which seems to have a breaking change.

In case you can't update ionic-app-scripts yet, you can force the older version of webpack by running following command:

npm install [email protected] --save

Updating ionic-app-scripts is probably the better solution, consider this as a temporary workaround...
