ionic2 fails during addressing to dev server running (ionic hello world)

Question

ionic2 hello world does not work.

I am following get started on official site - https://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/intro/tutorial/

install cordova and ionic
ionic start probaionic --v2
cd probaionic
ionic serve

Everything is working fine - dev server running: http://localhost:8100/

When I try to address this URL, I get this error:

traineeProgram/probaionic/node_modules/@ionic/app-scripts/dist/dev-server      /live-reload.js:27
var contentStr = content.toString();
                        ^

Answer 1

I faced the same issue with the below warning

****************************************************** Dependency warning - for the CLI to run correctly, it is highly recommended to install/upgrade the following: Please install your Cordova CLI to version >=4.2.0 npm install -g cordova Install ios-sim to deploy iOS applications. npm install -g ios-sim (may require sudo) Install ios-deploy to deploy iOS applications to devices. npm install -g ios-deploy (may require sudo)

try, running cordova -v command you will be opted with the below question

? May Cordova anonymously report usage statistics to improve the tool over time? No

I used no and it showed the version was 6.5.0

You have been opted out of telemetry. To change this, run: cordova telemetry on. 6.5.0

I ran the ionic serve command again and it worked.
