Ionic 2 - Can't generate pages via the CLI how to resolve error?

Question

This may be just my lack of experience working with ionic 2 but I'm getting an error when tying to generate pages via the CLI.

The syntax I'm using: "ionic g page TestPage"

It returns an error (below). Does anyone know how to resolve this error? It seems the "templates" directory does not exist on my machine which I gather is why this is happening, but not sure how to get it there or fix the issue. The first part of the path does exist: C:\apps\sampleapp\node_modules\ionic-angular\, but not the "templates/page" part.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'C:\apps\sampleapp\node_modules\ionic-angular\templates\page'

Downgrade your ionic version to beta 22.. I think it works by uninstalling and then updating npm just in case and then reinstalling a lower ionic version.

How do you completely remove Ionic and Cordova installation from mac?

And I would suggest trying "npm install" in the project directory after this too.
