Ionic 3.19.0 asks for CLI update but continues to ask for update after accepting.

Ionic version: (check one with “x”) (For Ionic 1.x issues, please use https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-v1) [ ] 2.x [ x ] 3.x [ ] 4.x

I’m submitting a … (check one with “x”) [ x ] bug report [ ] feature request

Current behavior:

When running a “ionic serve” command CLI asks to upgrade. After enter Y it seems to upgrade but next time you run “ionic serve” (or any other ionic command) upgrade question appears again.

Expected behavior:

CLI updated after accepting update.

Steps to reproduce:

macOS Sierra with Ionic CLI 3.19.0. Issue any CLI command (except for “ionic cordova …” commands) and you’ll see this

ionic serve --lab --locale

The Ionic CLI has an update available (3.19.0 => 3.20.0)! Would you like to in stall it? Yes npm i -g ionic@latest ✔ Running command - done!

[OK] Updated Ionic CLI to 3.20.0! 🎉

Please re-run your command.

Note: You can downgrade to your old version by running: npm i -g ionic@3.19.0 $ ionic serve --lab --locale

The Ionic CLI has an update available (3.19.0 => 3.20.0)! Would you like to in stall it?

and again, …and again.

Yeah, or ensure that npm uninstall -g ionic is removing the /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic folder and the bin file at /usr/local/bin/ionic.

Yap, likely, so issue can be closed. I’ll report back if problem arises again.

Thanks!!!

So I would guess the original update via npm failed somehow.
