v3-beta8: generate component not working

[Schwobaland]

v3 beta8 testing

What version of the CLI are you using? Output of ionic --version

3.0.0-beta8

Short description of the problem:

When i try to generate a component following output is generated:

$ ionic generate component bla
INVALID_PACKAGE_JSON

Other commands (serve, build) are working. With beta7 everything was working, too.

Post the output of ionic info below please
Ionic info also gives this error:

$ ionic info
✖ Gathering environment info - failed!
INVALID_PACKAGE_JSON

My package.json contains following dependencies:

What output do you see if you upgrade your cli to beta9 ?

[Schwobaland]

For ionic info I am getting following output:

$ ionic info
[ERROR] Error with ionic-angular package.json file: INVALID_PACKAGE_JSON

For some reason it thinks the Ionic Framework is not installed. Can you paste the full file contents of node_modules/ionic-angular/package.json for me?

@Schwobaland You're welcome! How did you download ionic-angular? It looks like it wasn't installed via a packaged install through npm.

[Schwobaland]

@dwieeb I used yarn. I even did a rm -rf node_modules && yarn cache clean && yarn to fetch the packages again. Same result.
So i tried rm -rf node_modules && npm install and everything to work fine. Strange behaviour - in beta7 everything used to work with yarn.

[imhoffd]

@Schwobaland Thanks. I will fix the next release to work with yarn!

[Schwobaland]

Thanks - its working again with beta10.
