Cannot call method 'paste' of undefined for ngCordova with ionic and phonegap build

[prantikv]

i am using ionic ngCordova extention set and building my app using the phonegap build service.
phonegap version 3.7.0

i have added the plugin like so and it works great with the JavaScript way:

         window.plugins.clipboard.paste(function (text) { alert(text); });

but when i use the $cordovaClipboard i am getting this error:

      module.controller('ClipboardCtrl', function($scope, $cordovaClipboard) {
      $cordovaClipboard.paste().then(function (result) {
             // success, use result
            }, function () {
             // error
               });
         });

This happens only on the build service and not in the CLI.

@prantikv I have the same issue.Did you have a solution?

[maxlam79]

Have you included cordova.js (you won't find this in the project folder) in the index.html for ionic developments?

e.g. <script src="cordova.js"></script>

I had this problem initially, but after including this right after <script src="lib/ngCordova/dist/ng-cordova.min.js"></script>, it worked flawlessly.

** This plugin will not work on browser, but running it on android / ios works. e.g. ionic run android

Hope this helps.
