cordova.file.dataDirectory calls fail

[rockneverdies55]

Little bit of background. Using lokijs as frontend db and loki-cordova-fs-adapter as the persistence provider (a script that saves lokijs db to disk).

However, if I have cordova-hot-code-push plugin installed, then cordova.file.dataDirectory call in the script is failing and my app doesn't load.

Can you print out in console value of the cordova.file.dataDirectory before chcp plugin installation and after?

[rockneverdies55]

Now I'm outside so can't check it out. However the value of cordova.file.dataDirectory would be expected to be different before and after chcp installation?

[nikDemyankov]

This is what I want to check :) If it's crashing because of it - most likely.

[rockneverdies55]

I see, ok i'll let you know.

[nikDemyankov]

Thanks

Without the plugin I get file:///data/user/0/<reverse_domain_app_name>/files/.

Though when the chcp plugin is installed, I see this in the console: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'dataDirectory' of undefined

[rockneverdies55]

Initially the app loads fine. However seconds later (I guess when CHCP completes copying and loading from new location) it becomes empty white screen and the app doesn't come back with the error message (Cannot read property 'dataDirectory' of undefined) in the console

[nikDemyankov]

Understood, thanks for the info. Will check it out.

[nikDemyankov]

If it's failing because of cordova.file.dataDirectory being undefined - I should be able to reproduce it by just installing cordova-plugin-file. But it works fine...

Tried to use lokijs and the loki-cordova-fs-adapter - also works both on iOS and Android. Can you please provide step-by-step guide on how to reproduce your issue?

[rockneverdies55]

That's really weird. I don't think I'm doing anything special. I'll check it out and get back to you.

[nikDemyankov]

Thanks.

I am also have same problem after build using phonegap windows version. It show TypeError: Unable to get property "dataDirectory" of undefined or null reference

please give me solution for this

[nikDemyankov]

@jeevaraj16 can you give me a step-by-step guide on how to reproduce that? Preferably with new project.

Also, please, share info on what cordova version you are using, node version, ios/android.
