Ionic 2 Build TypeError: Cannot read property '

Ionic 2 failed CLI build giving me the following error: "TypeError: Cannot read property 'AssetUrl' of undefined".

My research lead me to this thread and this one.

Both threads suggest to modify the "package.json" file and to remove the "^" sign in front of the version in "dependencies" and "devDependencies".

I did that and then CLI:

ionic rm platform android
ionic add platform android
and finally: ionic build android

I still get the same error.

At some point in this thread , it suggests using some npm command I am not familiar with (yet), quoting it: "rm -rf node_modules and npm cache clean and a fresh npm install". I don't really understand what is under the hood of all this.

I would be grateful if someone come up with the magic solution to make the build run fine. But also I'd like to understand how "TypeError: Cannot read property 'AssetUrl' of undefined" could be linked with the "package.json"? I don't get why this error lead to that possible solution.

My version are: npm 3.10.3 node 6.7.0 cordova 6.3.1 ionic 2.1.0

Here is my package.json as it looks now afer operating the suggestion read in both threads:

回答1:

I did in CLI within the folder of the projet an "npm install" + take away "^" sign in front of "dependencies" and "devDependencies" in package.json (as advised in the forum threads which are linked in my question). And it solved it.

回答2:

You should also update @angular/compiler-cli to the latest version.

That should do the trick
