Ionic 2 - watch failed: A watch configured to watch the following paths failed to start

I've been trying to get the Ionic watch to work, but I've been getting an error. I created a brand new app with the following command:

ionic start my-app --v2

This seems to work fine, then I try to serve the app

ionic serve -p $PORT

However, I get the following error

watch failed: A watch configured to watch the following paths failed to start. It likely that a file 
        referenced does not exist: /home/ubuntu/workspace/my-app/src/**/*.(ts|html|s(c|a)ss)

I can see that the src folder does exist in the path shown in the error. Is there a way I can resolve this error? I'm using the C9 IDE and installed Ionic with the following command 

sudo npm install ionic cordova -g

Here is my package.json in case it is needed:

I had the same error, I resolved it by deleting node_modules directory and run npm install
