Upgrade from 2.0.0-beta.19 to 2.0.0-beta.23

[mehrad-rafigh]

Hello everybody,

I am currently facing the issue, that a few things have changed between the versions.
After I deleted the deprecated files and downloaded the new ones, I can't get ionic to serve, build, run or emulate.

The error message I get is this:
✗ Caught exception:
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/Users/dev/git/my-sample-app/app'
at Error (native)
at Object.fs.lstatSync (fs.js:887:18)

at emitNone (events.js:80:13)
at DestroyableTransform.emit (events.js:179:7)

Mind letting us know? https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues

The issue I think is caused by the fact, that the app folder in my sample-app is not called app.
Is there anyway I can change this?

Furthermore:
Since webpack is not used anymore (or is it?), I have to update my index.html right? The problem is, that I have changed every app occurence in the new gulpfile.js but that did not solve my problem.
Does anybody had the same issues when they updated to the "new" version of ionic beta?

It could be that you need to configure Browserify to know where to look if you've changed the app files to something other than the default.

Take a look at either:
https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-gulp-tasks/tree/master/browserify-typescript#browserifybuildoptions
or
https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-gulp-tasks/tree/master/browserify-es2015#browserifybuildoptions

So if you renamed app to blah it would look something like this:

gulp.task('build', ['sass', 'html', 'fonts', 'scripts'], function(){
  return buildBrowserify({
    src: ['blah/app.js'] // or ['blah/app.ts', 'main.d.ts']
  });
});

Thanks for your reply @tlancina.
I checked out an older version of our project which was using the old dependecies. (ionic-framework instead of ionic-angular and ionic 2.0.0-beta.19.)
My problem is now that the CLI does warn me, that I should rename my ionic.project into ionic.config.json , but the CLI does not create a gulpfile.js nor the ionic.config.json.
I looked in this repo, but I didn't find any ionic.config.json file. Just this commit of yours.

Is this a possible bug of the current (2.0.0-beta.23) CLI?

I'm having a similar issue.

Upgrading from 2.0.0-beta.19 to beta.23 does not build my project anymore. ionic serve does work but it runs the same version of the project, any changes are not considered.

@mehrad-rafigh When you do a 'ionic start nameapp --v2 --ts' it will create a ionic.config.json which looks like this:

{
  "name": "nameapp ",
  "app_id": "",
  "v2": true,
  "typescript": true
}

@Artfloriani thanks for your message. I actually solved the problem just like you :)
BTW if you want to run ionic build you should add gulp.task('build:before', ['build']); to your gulpfile.js like mentioned in this issue

Hey all I'm going to close this and point people to https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic-2-projects-updating-to-beta-4/ for help with updating.
