Cannot read property firebase of undefined error in Windows 7 Genymotion

[vzhen]

Here is my setup.

Enviroment

Windows 7 64bits
Genymotion android 4.4

Genymotion Google play service setup

1. Drag Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1 to install
2. adb reboot
3. Drag gapps-kk-20140606-signed to install
4. adb reboot
5. login google account
6. update all google apps including google play services

Create new Nativescript app

1. tns create my-app
2. tns livesync android  --watch to check if {N} working.

Install nativescript-plugin-firebase@3.0.1

• Download google-services.json from firebase console and move it to platform/android
• tns plugin add nativescript-plugin-firebase
• add applicationId “org.nativescript.myapp” and “multiDexEnabled true” in app/App_Resources/Android/app.gradle

defaultConfig { 
  generatedDensities = [] 
  applicationId “org.nativescript.myapp”
  multiDexEnabled true
}

• add classpath “com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0” in platforms/android/build.gradle

dependencies {
 classpath “com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0”
 classpath “com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0”
 }

• In same file, platforms/android/build.gradle add apply plugin: “com.google.gms.google-services” at very bottom.
• add these 2 lines in app/references.d.ts

/// <reference path=”../node_modules/nativescript-plugin-firebase/firebase.d.ts” />
/// <reference path=”../node_modules/nativescript-plugin-firebase/firebase-common.d.ts” />

• add firebase.init in app.js

var application = require(“application”);
var firebase = require(“nativescript-plugin-firebase”);
firebase.init({
   persist: true // Allow disk persistence. Default false.
}).then(function (instance) {
   console.log(“firebase.init done”);
},function (error) {
 console.log(“firebase.init error: “ + error);
});
application.start({ moduleName: “main-page” });

• tns livesync android  --watch

Ok, app is running but got firebase init error: cannot read property firebase of undefined in cmd.

I'm not sure the plugin behaves nicely if you run init before the app itself is completely bootstrapped -- can you move firebase stuff to after application.start?

[vzhen]

Tried and same error, i even tested init in another module. By the way, where to check logs file? so i can provide you more info

[vzhen]

@EddyVerbruggen i tested it again on version 3.2.0 there is an new error.

[EddyVerbruggen]

Did you follow all the steps in the readme, including the 'known issues' section? This is not an easy thing to do so please have patience.

[vzhen]

My bad, i got id typo.
Ok, Cannot read property firebase of undefined error fixed. Thanks for that.

but there is a new weird issue, refer to image below. At first, firebase init done but after 2-3 seconds it returns FirebaseApp with name [DEFAULT] doesn't exists and GoogleSinatureVerifire at very bottom (I not sure is it sensitive data so i erase it). The weird thing is, i'm still able to push() to firebase. LOL

Let me know if you want to open this as new issue

[EddyVerbruggen]

No please check the known issues in the readme for that error.
