[iOS] file ios/App/public/cordova.js does not exist

[michaeltintiuc]

Installing the plugin and running npx cap update works well for all platforms except iOS:

✖ update ios: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'ios/App/public/cordova.js'
[error] Error running update: { [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'ios/App/public/cordova.js']
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: 'ios/App/public/cordova.js' }

As this plugin does not use cordova at all, your issue is most propably no bug I can do anything about.

Anyway here are some tips:

• clean your project
• try to restart your IDE
• clear your caches
• delete your node_modules directory
• XCode 10+. It is most important to always clean the build because XCode caches are not updating by there own.

I am not using any cordova plugins, as I've mentioned in the description, I have just installed the plugin and ran cap update, the error was thrown within the console, not my IDE. Besides this was done on a Linux machine. I have noticed that some of the minor details in readme are out of date with the latest capacitor beta versions, perhaps it could be related? I am using beta.13

I only gave you some tips on how to catch your problem.

I am not using any cordova plugins, as I've mentioned in the description

The description does not say anything about you not using cordova. You just posted an error.

I have noticed that some of the minor details in readme are out of date with the latest capacitor

Please let me know, which ones you mean so I can fix it.

I am using beta.13

The plugin beta.1 needs capacitor beta.17. npm install should have informed you about that.

I see, will give it a go with an updated version, thanks for the quick replies! 👍

In terms of README, I've found that the capacitor docs are suggesting this:

// Other imports...
import com.example.myapp.EchoPlugin;

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Initializes the Bridge
    this.init(savedInstanceState, new ArrayList<Class<? extends Plugin>>() {{
      // Additional plugins you've installed go here
      // Ex: add(TotallyAwesomePlugin.class);
      add(EchoPlugin.class);
    }});
  }
}

while plugin readme suggests:

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        List<Class<? extends Plugin>> additionalPlugins = new ArrayList<>();
        // Additional plugins you've installed go here
        // Ex: additionalPlugins.add(TotallyAwesomePlugin.class);
        additionalPlugins.add(OAuth2ClientPlugin.class);

        // Initializes the Bridge
        this.init(savedInstanceState, additionalPlugins);
    }

Ah ;) I have lots of experience in Java and doing it the Capacitor way is most uncommon in the Java world.

So I used my actual code for the description as I think it's easier to read. But's your call what you want to use basically it's the same.

Further more this whole think should not be needed as soon as ionic-team/capacitor#952 is implemented. Android plugins should be discovered automatically as they are on iOS.

Awesome, thanks for your work!

I close this for now. I the problem persist with capacitor beta.17 I'll reopen it.
