ionic 2 looking for app.ts when it should be looking for app.js

Question

I am moving an ionic 2 Beta 6 app over to ionic 2 Beta 9. I am doing this by creating a new ionic 2 --v2 starter app and then copying over my app .js and .html source files (having made all of the changes needed to update to Beta 9) to the app directory in the starter app folder.

When I run ionic serve it complains:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/Users/billnoble/Documents/veeu-app2/app/app.ts'

My source files are not typescript so I have changed the ionic.config.json file to:

{
  "name": "VeeU",
  "app_id": "375dc139",
  "v2": true,
  "typescript": false
}

What do I have to do to get ionic to use javascript rather than typescript files?

I created the starter app with ionic start starterapp --v2

You should create the starter app with:

ionic start xxx --v2 --no-ts

And then copy your app .js and .html source files in that project.

Unfortunately that still creates a Typescript app. – Bill Noble Jun 21 '16 at 17:35
