Hi,
I'm starting to use Ionic 2 and I've been struck by a weirdness in the way the ionic CLI interacts with the gulpfile. I had assumed that Ionic uses gulp for building, so I have been changing things in there to improve my build process.
For example, my application has lots of .scss files in the different /page/ subdirectories. Making sure these are included in the build is obviously the job of the build tool (rather than someone having to manually remember to add boilerplate lines to app.core.scss). So I added a gulp task sass.collect which generates a file .tmp/app.generated.scss which is included from theme/app.core.scss. The standard sass task has a dependency on the new sass.collect task.
But then I ran ionic serve and the sass.collect task is not being run…
Then I looked into ionic.config.js and discovered that the sass src glob ('app/theme/app.+(ios|md).scss') is declared here as well. Huh? So what tool is responsible for compiling sass into css? Surely gulp and the ionic CLI aren't both doing this?
