Gulpfile not found: ./gulpfile.js - even though it exists in Ionic 1

I recently updated Ionic CLI. I am trying to build an older application (v1 - created long ago) in this new cli version. But after installing gulp and running ionic cordova build android it shows following error. But gulp file exists in that location.

I tried uninstalling it but same issue. This is my Ionic info - I am working on Ubuntu 16.04.

Solution

  • If you are trying to build Ionic 1 project, Then you should use cordova run android This will run perfectly. and for release cordova run android --release

    ionic cordova build android will work on Ionic 3 CLI.
