Unable to locate the login box by type attribute or xpath

HTML looks like following

<input class="text-input text-input-md" dir="auto" ng-reflect-klass="text-input" ng-reflect-ng-class="text-input-md" type="email" aria-labelledby="lbl-14" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" placeholder="" ng-reflect-type="email">

the code fails to find login box...tried by attribute

var email_xpath = "//*[type='email']" 

then xpath

var email_xpath = "/html/body/ion-app/ng-component/ion-split-pane/ion-nav/page-login/ion-content/div[2]/ion-list/ion-item[1]/div[1]/div/ion-input/input"

var email = webDriver.findElement(By.xpath(email_xpath))

but still unable to get the element....

Thanks, Sohel
