file.resolveLocalFilesystemUrl is not a function

• [x ] Support Question

Hi,
I am having an issue with the File plugin in working with ionic.
The error is:
ERROR TypeError: this.file.resolveLocalFilesystemUrl is not a function
plugin Version is 6.0.2 and it's present when I run cordova plugin ls

My code looks like this:

download(num: number) {
    const d = new Date();
    const n = d.getTime();
    const newFileName = n + '.jpg';

    const externalStoragePath: string = this.file.dataDirectory;
    console.log(externalStoragePath);
    // externalStoragePath is always undefined...


    this.file.resolveLocalFilesystemUrl('file:///' + this.slides[num]).then((entry: any) => {
      this.file.resolveLocalFilesystemUrl(externalStoragePath).then((dirEntry: any) => {
        entry.copy(dirEntry, newFileName);
      }).catch((error) => {
        console.log('dirEntryerror: ' + error);
      });
    });
  }

What I already tried:

• looking in the plugin code itself, the function is there;
• remove and reinstall the plugin
• when I type in the beginning of the function, my IDE suggests it and there is no Error, also in compiling...

I hope you can help me :)

If you use Ionic's Native wrapper, please seek support via their channels - otherwise use cordova.file as stated in the documentation.
