title: Missing ionic.project file
body: <p>I just updated nodejs ionic and cordova. Create new ionic project as before: </p>
  
  <pre><code>ionic start myApp blank 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In terminal, go to myApp directory, and input:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ionic state
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I got message: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>You cannot run any state commands on a project that is not an Ionic
    project. Try adding an ionic.project file or running ionic start to
    get an application to save or restore (CLI v1.7.10)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>My system information:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Cordova CLI: 5.4.0</li>
  <li>Ionic Version: 1.1.1 </li>
  <li>Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.10</li>
  <li>Ionic App Lib Version: 0.6.5</li>
  <li>ios-deploy version: 1.8.3 </li>
  <li>ios-sim version: 5.0.4 </li>
  <li>OS: Mac OS X El Capitan</li>
  <li>Node Version: v5.1.0</li>
  <li>Xcode version: Xcode 7.1.1 Build version 7B1005</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Question: Where ionic.project file, I don't remember there was this file in project before. How to add ionic.project file?</p>
  
  <p>How do I find this problem? Because I check out source from git, I try to use ionic state restore command to restore application for building. But I got same message, missing ioinc.project. So I create a new ionic project to find reason, but I'm still confused.</p>
  
  <p>If use</p>
  
  <pre><code>ionic start
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>You will got</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Invalid command (CLI v1.7.10)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Of course, there is not directory argument for this command. If you give directory as ./, this command only create and overwrite all project file.</p>
