发生未处理的异常：项目“app”不存在。 离子服务后收到此错误

Question

At first I used command:

ng add @ionic/angular

To add ionic to my Angular 7 project.

As title says I am getting this error: An unhandled exception occurred: Project "app" does not exist when I am trying to serve my Angular7/Ionic 4 project by command:

ionic serve

I read about inconsistent project names causing this problem but they seem fine to me. Here are my related files:

ionic.config.json

{
  "name": "Angular7",
  "integrations": {},
  "type": "angular"
}

I couldn't figure out what to do

Answer 1

The cause of the problem is the name of your default project and its builds. For some reason, Ionic has a problem in resolving it. I didn't find a direct answer in the docs , but using multi-project configuration seems to work. If you change your ionic.config.json to look like:

{
  "defaultProject": "Angular7",
  "projects": {
    "Angular7": {
      "name": "Angular7",
      "integrations": {},
      "type": "angular"
    }
  }
}

then it should work with your changed name.

Answer 2

Jakubs answer above solved my problem completely. I was wracking my brain for 3 days before coming across this page. Now im wondering why Ionic requires a nested name tag in it config file?

{ "defaultProject": "Angular7", "projects": { "Angular7": { "name": "Angular7", "integrations": {}, "type": "angular" } } }
