Cannot fire on browser

[juancresc]

A very simple picture capture snippet is not working on browser (chrome Version 71.0.3578.98) or firefox. I'm using a mac.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(navigator.camera);
    document.getElementById("cameraTakePicture").addEventListener("click", cameraTakePicture);
}

function cameraTakePicture() {
    navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, {
        quality: 50,
        destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL
    });

    function onSuccess(imageData) {
        var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
        image.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
    }

    function onFail(message) {
        alert('Failed because: ' + message);
    }
}

Error in chrome:
Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'createObjectURL' on 'URL': No function was found that matched the signature provided.
at successCallback (CameraProxy.js:105)

Error in Firefox:
navigator.mozGetUserMedia ha sido reemplazado por navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia CameraProxy.js:112:8

Ok so this is actually an issue that has been resolved but is not part of a release the last release was on Apr 12, ON May 24 in 5163d38#diff-6856bdfe878c6f9fa378adaa7fc4e488 it was fixed. However there was no version for this fix. so it appears broken.

How to fix:
If you are using ionic, or importing this package. you can put the repo (thought it will be the most current repo updates, and not locked to a version anymore*)
Because it is not a VERSION, you will have to remove all the build 'plugins' and re run your project so it rebuilds the plugin list.
remove the versioned cordova-plugin-camera from the package.json and then npm install https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera

Any ideas when this is going to be released? I have the same problem :)

@muuvmuuv No idea when its going to be fixed but the work around will allow you to dev for now. you can always roll back to a release version instead of the git repo code

@M-a-c thanks, I needed to do one additional step ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-camera && ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera to get it working in firefox. Before I have not seen the camera overlay.

The following code snippet works perfectly fine for me. I'm using Cordova 9.0.0 andcordova-plugin-camera@4.0.3 on Chromium and macOS. I strongly believe this should work on other browsers too.

Wish this was fixed. This plugin could be mistaken for dead based on its releases.

My standard dependancy came in version 2.x, where I encountered the same issue. For me it was sufficient to reinstall it via cordova plugin remove camera and cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera --save
