Build 5.7.1 fails to install

[AlibekJ]

Tried installing blinkid-cordova and got a error.

To reproduce:

cordova create something something something
cd something
cordova platform add android
cordova plugin add blinkid-cordova

It fails with:

9.0.0 ([email protected])

Version 5.7.0 works fine.

I hope this crash report helps.

Hi @AlibekJ,

I cannot reproduce the issue by following steps that you have provided. For me everything works fine. Which version of the Cordova CLI you are using (cordova --version)? Does our ./initCordovaDemoApp.sh work for you?

[AlibekJ]

It is 9.0.0 ([email protected])

Just tried, the same error as 3 days ago.

[i1E]

Does sample app generated with our ./initCordovaDemoApp.sh work for you? You can replace this line with:

cordova plugin add blinkid-cordova

to use package from the NPM.

[AlibekJ]

Nah, I just used [email protected] which works fine.

I can try the sample app. Let me know if it may help in debugging.

[i1E]

Hi @AlibekJ,

please try ./initCordovaDemoApp.sh script and sample app created by this script and let us know whether it works for you or not. This will help us in debugging.

Also, can you please send us exact steps for reproducing this issue, because we cannot reproduce the issue with steps that you have provided earlier, this worked fine:

cordova create something com.something something
cd something
cordova platform add android
cordova plugin add blinkid-cordova

I have exacly the same issue. I used react.cordova to initialize cordova project then moved directly to BlinkId installation which throws exactly this error.

Hi @agpl

can you send us the exact steps to reproduce the issue?

Best regards,
Sandra

Hey @SandraKuzmic @i1E

These are the steps literally:

cordova create testblink aa.blink.test testblink
cd testblink
cordova platform add android
cordova plugin add blinkid-cordova

[SandraZiv]

Hi @AlibekJ

I still can't reproduce the error. After following your steps BlinkID plugin is successfully added to the project.

$ cordova create testblink aa.blink.test testblink

$ cd testblink/

We also tried reproducing the error on different computers and none of them got the error so currently, it is hard to tell where the problem is.

We are soon to release BlinkID plugin v5.8.0 so maybe you could try it after it is released and let us know if the issue still occurs.

Best regards,
Sandra
