Ionic 3 CLI unable to start project behind proxy

Question

I'm new to Ionic. I'm facing proxy issues while getting started with Ionic 3.

After installing Ionic & cordova via npm tried to create a new project with the below command as suggested by ionic help

npm install -g @ionic/cli-plugin-proxy

followed by

ionic start helloWorld blank --type ionic-angular

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND github.com github.com:443

npm config and git config are already set and working since i work with angular behind proxy able to install any libraries and push to github without any issues

• npm config set proxy http://userid:[email protected]:port
• npm config set https-proxy http://userid:[email protected]:port
• npm config set http-proxy http://userid:[email protected]:port
• git config --global http.proxy http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080

Having environment variables HTTP_PROX,PROXY and IONIC_HTTP_PROXY as well.

Tried uninstalling ionic and reinstall, set proxies again but nothing helps. Couldn't find any help.Do i need to set any other proxy to work with ionic 3 ? Kindly guide me in resolving this.

versions

• Node : 7.8.0
• npm : 4.0.3
• ionic : 3.1.2
• cordova : 7.0.1

Answer 1

I faced same problem with ionic 3 it solved by use latest versions of node.js

in fact I used versions v6.10.3 recommended for most user, don't use the current versions, because normally it doesn't not stable yet.
