Ionic 2 - Runtime error Cannot find module "."

Question

I have experienced this error when serving my Ionic 2 application to my localhost by using the command:

ionic serve

I am unsure where this error stems from. I have meticulously double checked all my imports for a broken path in my TypeScript files. I haven't found anything.

The only changes made between the application working and not working was adding a new interface for holding data for a Google maps Location.

However I don't see how this would be relevant and it has to be something else in the build process.

Can anyone give advice on how to debug this further? Should I debug the polyfils.ts file?

Solution 1

I can see 2 issues on your approach.

Issue 1: You have to remove this old module "ionic-native": "^2.4.1",.After that run npm i

Issue 2: You need to inject Geolocation inside the providers array (app.module.ts).You must do this with the latest ionic native ("@ionic-native/core": "^3.4.4").

You can read more about it here: Ionic Native.

Solution 2

I know that the below solution it is not your case, but I have the same problem in Ionic 3.

The solution was reported on Webpack issue discution by @killian2301.

Just remove all imports that have /umd at the final.

In my case, I changed: import { IonicPageModule } from 'ionic-angular/umd'; To: import { IonicPageModule } from 'ionic-angular';

Solution 3

This frequently occurs in Ionic 2+ , due to unusual auto import by IDE.

Change the code from

 import { TextInput } from 'ionic-angular/umd';

to

import { TextInput } from 'ionic-angular';

where ever it occurs with package/umd
