The Ionic command-line interface

ionic-cli's Issues

form-data swallows exceptions

The form-data module used for the upload task will not let the user catch or handle a 404 error (for example). This makes it impossible to return any meaningful error message back to the user.

Change language on serve fail

Language here is a bit confusing ionic.fail('Unable to start server:', err); I suggest reference which server fails ionic.fail('Unable to start livereload server:', err);

https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/blob/master/lib/ionic/serve.js#L70-L79

See issue: http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/why-ionic-serve-fails/4466/2

Handling network errors

If there is a net work error when creating a new project, the message printed out is pretty obscure.

Can this be handled with a cleaner, less obscure warning?

$ionic platform update ?

well an issue that perhaps lands between feature request / bug - just close if I'm on the wrong track here:

with cordova we can do:

$ cd <project app>
$ cordova platform update android

with ionic we currently can do:

$ ionic platform add android
Running platform task...
Adding platform android
...

should we expect to be able to do ?

$ ionic platform update android
Running platform task...

Platform "update" not recognized as a core cordova platform. See "platform list".

Ionic start without Cordova

Might be nice to be able to start an Ionic app without Cordova, if you are building a mobile website or something like that.

Ionic v1.1.8 - Error run android

Sorry for my english, just say, everything worked perfect, until you upgrade to the latest version 1.1.8. I can not try on android

I use command: ionic run android
Now install the platform of cordoa android

CRLF issue on script

ionic-team/ionic-framework#561

cli should offer update option for existing projects

This is more a feature request than a bug/issue:

with

npm update -g ionic

one can update the command line.

In case that ionic is under heavy development, it should offer options to update an existing project with new releases of ionic. Today one needs to manually copy files and folders for ionic specific stuff. I think this could be automated and enhance the overall workflow for developing apps with ionic.

Updated to 1.1.6 then old projects could not be served

I'm not sure what version I was using earlier, but after update ionic, "serve" opens blank page on old projects.
I'm yet to find the cause.

CLI command to update the local copies of Ionic

I see a lot of people talking about this on the forum. Mike said to make an issue.
It would be great if we could do:

ionic platform update ios
ionic platform update android

which would mirror the cordova platform command

Hanging on install

Hi,

I am trying to install Ionic and it is hanging on "Fetching repo: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-base/archive/master.zip". It appears to have unzipped the directory but it never seems to progress an further? If I cancel the install and then cd into the directory and to to run npm install it errors with ENOPACKAGEJSON so I'm not sure what is going on:

I have NVM installed and I am using node v0.11.11. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

[Mac][ionic platform ios] /bin/sh: cordova: command not found

Hi,

$ node -v
v0.10.22

$ npm -v
1.3.14

I'm on Mac just tried to run demo app according to getting-started, i got an error:

$ ionic platform ios
Running platform task...
Adding platform ios
/bin/sh: cordova: command not found
Unable to add platform ios. Please see console for more info.

So cordova binary here

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/cordova/bin/cordova
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/.bin/cordova

ionic is global:

$ which ionic
/usr/local/bin/ionic

But cordova doesn't:

$ which cordova
cordova not found

Should I install cordova globally as a separate installation?

Improve code structure

I think we should refactor the cli to use a better more generic command line handling tool. As it stands the code is pretty crappy.

`ionic package` without platform names gives error

OSX
v1.1.5-beta2

1. ionic start myApp tabs -a tabby
2. ionic platform add ios
3. ionic platform add android
4. ionic login, success
5. ionic package with no arguments, get this: http://d.pr/i/JuSJ

Shouldn't Ignore node_modules?

Forum : http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic-start-gitignore/3063

OP suggests NOT adding node_modules to ".gitignore".

Links to a very valid point about the need to include node_modules in EACH apps source tree.

http://www.futurealoof.com/posts/nodemodules-in-git.html

How should Ionic deal with this?

Unavailable command doesn't show error

If I type ionic foobar the start screen (ionic) will be printed.

That's nice but it would be helpful to get some message like this is not a valid command - please try one of this

version numbers ionic-cli vs ionic

when running the cli command ionic it is confusion that it shows 1.1.6 after the ascii-art ionic. Maybe we can indicate both the ionic AND ionic-cli version.

"Platform" command altered since 1.1.5

Since 1.1.5, ionic platform <PLATFORM> does not add platform.
Instead it logs already installed platforms and available ones:

Installed platforms:
Available platforms: amazon-fireos, android, blackberry10, firefoxos, windows8, wp8

Downgrading to 1.1.4: works normally again.

Cordova 3.4.0 and ionic-cli are not friends

Different versions in npm and master?

The current version of Ionic in npm shows 0.9.16 (2014-02-08T16:44:31.809Z) but on github / the Ionic website I can find version 0.9.23.

If there is a difference, what is it?

Thanks!

project structure of `ionic start` projects has changed in bad way

Hi,

seems like there have been some changes how projects are initialized.

Why this https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/blob/master/lib/ionic/start.js#L168?

I really don't care what name the boilerplate had, I used.
Why force me to have such ugly folder names like ionic-app-base-master - just call it "app" or something.

But where does the "ionic.project" file comes from? What is it for?
Why not put it beside the rest of the app?

Seems ugly this way and forces me to make another cd ugly-folder-name to be able to do some gulp, ionic etc stuff.

This also crashs your documentation as it needs the info to have another cd.

Seems like a mistake and doesn't seems like fun.

change incorrect comments

Found incorrect comment in platform.js and on serve.js

https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/blob/master/lib/ionic/platform.js#L21
no - not find the app name but slice away "platform"

https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/blob/master/lib/ionic/serve.js#L22
no - not find the app name but get the port number

Add support for 'cordova plugin add/rm ...' + update feature

Since the Ionic CLI has been moving toward a full Cordova CLI coverage, how about Ionic include the plugin commands? And even extend on the plugin commands, with a pluing update ... feature?

Sure, cordova is simple to use as so:

$ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.camera

But for updating a plugin it requires two lines of code:

$ cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.camera
$ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.camera

The Ionic CLI could extend on this and have two options:

1. update one plugin at a time
2. update all plugins in one go

eg:

$ ionic plugin update org.apache.cordova.camera

$ ionic plugin update -all

An update would literally just rm and re- add the plugin, which is syntactically simple, but gives ionic developers a simpler way of dealing with cordova.

If you like this feature I would very much like to help and could create a PR to start off from.

Make it possible to build releases via ionic cli

The guide teaches to create a release version via

cordova build --release android
http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/publishing.html

There is
ionic build android - so I don't have to use cordova in that place (directly), what about and ionic build --release android or ionic release android command?

Ionic-starter-tabs Doesn't Run In Chrome

Kicking off via cli using :

• ionic start myApp tabs

• cd myApp

• ionic platform add ios

• ionic build ios

• ionic emulate ios

  produces an app that runs properly in the simulator.

However, in Chrome, it produces errors and displays no header.

Additionally, there is an errant swap file in the www directory : "-rw-r--r-- 1 jn staff 12288 Apr 10 09:06 .index.html.swp"

ionic start don't work when invalid HTTPS certificate

Any idea on how can i make this working?

Flags are not passed to cordova

I ran into this issue when testing on WP8. The command "ionic run wp8 --device" does not seem to forward the "--device" flag to Cordova.

After looking into ionic/run.js, I can't see any code there to forward the flags. Is this intentional?

If not, the following code fixes this issue.

IonicRunTask.prototype.run = function(ionic) {
  if(argv._.length < 2) {
    IonicRunTask.prototype._printUsage();
    ionic.fail('No platforms specified, exiting.');
  }

  var flags = " ";
  for (var i in argv) {
    if (i !== "_" && i !== "$0") {
        flags += " --" + i;
    }
  }

  var platforms = argv._.slice(1);

  if(platforms.length < 1) {
    ionic.fail('No platforms specified, exiting.');
  }

  IonicStats.t('run', { 'platform': platforms.join(',') });

  for(var i = 0; i < platforms.length; i++) {
    var platform = platforms[i];
    console.log('Running app on platform', platform);
    if(exec("cordova run " + platform + flags).code !== 0) {
      ionic.fail('Unable to run app on platform ' + platform + '. Please see console for more info.');
    }
  }
};

Provide help for users to update

• bower: requires our windows newer users to install git, so no
• npm: ionic isn't on npm yet

I think we should just include some documentation telling the users how to update the version of ionic. It's pretty simple.

No such file or directory error on Window7

F:\dev\ionic>ionic start myApp
Unable to save settings file: { [Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'F:\Users\IBM_ADMIN.ionic']
errno: 34,
code: 'ENOENT',
path: 'F:\Users\IBM_ADMIN.ionic',
syscall: 'mkdir' }

Add error logging

It'd be nice to know when people are running into issues. Maybe we can add a simple, anonymous error logging system.

Build sass files with node-sass

We could wrap node-sass within the ionic cli to make development easier. Basically have commands like ionic sass and ionic sass --watch (along with hooking it up to ionic serve), and not require developers to install ruby and sass (which ultimately makes development easier for those who haven't done previous projects with sass, and faster in getting the project configured and setup for development). Plus libsass will be much faster to compile.

From there we can modularize our scss even further and setup a process which builds their production CSS file with the bare minimum selectors and properties their app requires. Faster rendering, fewer bytes, no extra configuration on their end, and all with the benefits of sass.

Update sass files

For developers relying on scss for customizing their styles, running ionic lib update does not help. I was under the impression that it would update lib/ionic to the same source we're getting from a bower repository. Instead, it only updates the release folder only. Is there a way to incorporate scss folder and its gulpfile as part of the release folder?

ionic-team/ionic-framework#1936

Upgrade to the latest dist

It would be nice if you provided a command in ionic-cli to upgrade the ionic/dist files to the latest copies from master.

Add platform information into body class

See if we can insert each platform's name into their respective build's index.html body class tag.

For example, an ios build would automatically get this in their body tag:

<body class="platform-ios">

And Android would automatically build with:

<body class="platform-android">

Not necessarily required, but may be a nice to have

Add release option

We could have a release option that removes unnecessary files and strips everything down.

Require gulp on initial start

If gulp isn't installed, the start command quietly ignores that but then the project doesnt' get set up at all

Remove sass files in `after_prepare` hook

After the app has been prepared and the static files have been build, remove the sass files from the platform directories.
