Are you using v2.0.0-alpha.51?

[afrad]

Yes. I tried also the 2.0 trunk (git+https://github.com/driftyco/ionic.git#2.0) und got the same error

[brandyscarney]

We moved ionicons to a new module, so you'll need to install it in your project and then modify the config file. See the changelog for 2.0: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/2.0/CHANGELOG.md#200-alpha51-2016-1-21

[afrad]

Thank you. I did the changes and I dont see the error message anymore but the icons still don't appear.

[mhartington]

Make sure you also include the icons in you package.json and npm install

https://github.com/driftyco/ionic2-app-base/blob/master/package.json#L7

[afrad]

I did installed the icons already. Maybe I missed something.

[brandyscarney]

Which version are you updating from? We renamed the icon element to ion-icon in a previous version, maybe that is causing issues? https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/2.0/CHANGELOG.md#200-alpha48-2016-1-7

[afrad]

I'm using

 "ionic-framework": "2.0.0-alpha.51",
 "ionicons": "3.0.0-alpha.3",

in my package.json
What is wrong in the code below? I don't see the menu icon

<ion-navbar *navbar>
    <button menuToggle>
        <ion-icon name="menu"></ion-icon>
    </button>
    <ion-title>Test</ion-title>
</ion-navbar>

[brandyscarney]

Hm no that looks right. Can you try stopping ionic serve, then delete the node_modules folder and do a fresh npm install. Then run ionic serve again and see if that fixes it.

Have you change your ionic.config.js ?

    sass: {
      src: ['app/theme/app.+(ios|md).scss'],
      dest: 'www/build/css',
      include: [
        'node_modules/ionic-framework',
        'node_modules/ionicons/dist/scss'
      ]
    },

[afrad]

Yes I did. Nothing helped except recreating the project from scratch.

Going to close this as it sounds like it's been resolved, if anyone is still having issues please let us know.

[brandyscarney]

If anyone else runs into this issue make sure the font src is also updated:

src: ['node_modules/ionic-framework/fonts/**/*.+(ttf|woff|woff2)'],

https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-conference-app/blob/master/ionic.config.js#L18

Updated changelog to reflect: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/2.0/CHANGELOG.md#ionicons-were-moved

I bumped into the same problem when using angular2-webpack-starter. Due to it's using sass-loader with webpack, I had to change the import to:

@import "~ionicons/dist/scss/ionicons-icons";
@import "~ionicons/dist/scss/ionicons-variables";

Note: I'm using NPM >= 3 which will install the packages in flatten structure.

[cayter]

For those who are using Ionic 2 with webpack, please make sure that you have the following changes in webpack config and app SCSS file.

webpack.config.js

...

module: {
  loaders: [
     ...

     {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        loader: 'raw!sass?includePaths[]=' + helpers.root('node_modules/ionicons/dist/scss')
     },

     ...
  ]
},

...

app.scss

$font-path: "~ionic-angular/fonts";

@import "~ionic-angular/ionic";

Hi all,
I am using the current anuglar 2 version with angular-cli@webpack.

In this case I have the same missing file issue and I can't really fix that using webpack, because you don't have access to webpack configuration over angular-cli.

I have found a workaround using cpx inside package.json:

"start": "cpx node_modules/ionicons/dist/scss/ionicons-*.* node_modules/ionic-angular/fonts/ & ng serve --host 0.0.0.0",

But it's not a nice way to solve that.

I am wondering why do you import files without to deliver them?

[jskrzypek]

I'm also seeing this issue in our AOT builds. I'm trying to get around this issue angular/angular/#11688 by precompiling, but then node-sass quits on us because we don't use ionicons. We have $ionicons: false in our scss, but these @imports make it so that we can't use the other fonts in ionic-angular/fonts with our own static compile system.

Hi,
I am using ionic-angular 2.0.0-rc.4 in an angular 2.2.1 project. The only trouble I had was loading the ionicon fonts. The SASS files were not importing them correctly. I copied the font file from node_modules/ionicons/dist/fonts, and placed it into a local folder under my app root. Then I just set a reference to it like this.

$ionicons-font-path: "/assets/fonts/ionicons";
@import "~ionicons/dist/scss/ionicons";

[kaszona]

Remove @import "ionic.ionicons";

Add @import "ionicons";

[brandyscarney]

@kaszona That is not correct. This will import the ionicons stylesheet from here: https://github.com/driftyco/ionicons/blob/master/scss/ionicons.scss

Which in turn pulls in these unwanted styles: https://github.com/driftyco/ionicons/blob/master/scss/_ionicons-font.scss#L15-L27

You should be importing from ionic.ionicons to avoid these styles which grabs this file: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/master/src/themes/ionic.ionicons.scss
