Network plugin onConnect/onDisconnect not triggered

[willyboy]

This is a clone of #4086 as it was closed "inactive" but the issue still exists. I think the API for the underlying plugin has changed to just one event "networkStatusChange". I was hoping this plugin would give me the "onDisconnect/Connect" methods for readability.

Current behavior:
The onConnect/Disconnect subscriptions are never getting invoked when the network status changes.

Expected behavior:
The onConnect/Disconnect subscriptions should be invoked when the network status changes.

Steps to reproduce:
Simple cordova 6 app with network plugin installed can be used to reproduce the issue.

Related code:

import { Network }  from '@awesome-cordova-plugins/network/ngx';

constructor(private platform: Platform, private network: Network {
  platform.ready().then(() => {
     this.network.onDisconnect().subscribe(() => {
        console.log('>network was disconnected :-(');
     });
     this.network.onConnect().subscribe(() => {
       console.log('>network was connected :-)');
     });      
});

}

Hi @willyboy
Awesome Cordova Plugins wraps plugin callbacks in a Promise or Observable.
The error is not related to this repository.

Maybe your issue is related to plugin itself
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-network-information

Try to create a demo application without ionic or capacitor
Just Cordova + plugin

cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
cd hello
cordova platform add ios
cordova platform add android
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-network-information
cordova build

Good luck
