reinstall: Node.js (w/ npm, npx, etc.) Ionic & Cordova

dpcunningham commented 4 years ago

After a system hang...

...which required a logut/login process ...my builds broke:

$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage [ERROR] Cannot load Cordova config.

    Error: Cannot parse config.xml file: Error: Text data outside of root node.
   [...]
    (/usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-v10.16.3-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/sax/lib/sax.js:666:10)

...blah, blah, blah, The build environment is now really unhappy w/ me.

This reveals my (previously noted) crappy install of node. Note the error path is citing v10.x. Really? And where did my v-12.x go then, mutha-fluffa?

$ node --version
v10.16.3

Yup. This is AFU. OK, let's bend an elbow & fix it, once & fer allz.

(Cracks knuckles.) Let's uninstall node...

sudo apt-get remove nodejs

(Cracks neck.) Let's do a "scorched-earth" treatment on any & all previous directory trees:

Let's reinstall per point 6 on our previous issue: install: Node.js, npm, and ionic

$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -

dpc@LT3-Insp17-2017:~$ npx --version

Let's reinstall Ionic & Cordova:

$ sudo npm install -g ionic cordova

npm WARN deprecated superagent@4.1.0: Please note that v5.0.1+ of superagent removes User-Agent header by default, therefore you may need to add it yourself (e.g. GitHub blocks requests without a User-Agent header). This notice will go away with v5.0.2+ once it is released. /usr/bin/cordova -> /usr/lib/node_modules/cordova/bin/cordova /usr/bin/ionic -> /usr/lib/node_modules/ionic/bin/ionic +cordova@9.0.0 +ionic@5.4.13 added 704 packages from 403 contributors in 19.753s

Re-survey our build situation:

$ node --version
v12.14.0
$ npm --version
6.13.4
$ java -version   # cuz Oracle java is a diva, & can't follow "mundane" argument SOPs
java version "1.8.0_231"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_231-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.231-b11, mixed mode)
$ javac -version
javac 1.8.0_231
$ gradle --version

$ ionic --version
5.4.13
$ cordova --version

OK, looks like we're back in business.

Resolve build errors

$ ionic cordova platform add ios

[ERROR] Cannot load Cordova config.

   Error: Cannot parse config.xml file: Error: Text data outside of root node.
   Line: 110
   Column: 13

[...stack trace follows...]

This turned out to be caused by the changes we made to enable iOS camera use:

<!-- Required for iOS 10: Camera permission prompt -->
<edit-config file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge" target="NSCameraUsageDescription">
    <string>Used to take pictures</string>
</edit-config>

We take those out for now, and:

$ ionic cordova platform add ios Platform ios already exists. $ ionic cordova platform add android Platform android already exists.

And then slap them right back in, because we'll be needing them in a bit...

NB: Turns out the real reason for this is: the tutorial said: "add this to the end of config.xml.

It could have been much more clear and said something like: "inside the <widget>...</widget> specifier, so you don't waste a lot of time hunting down errors that look like weird-ass environment faults. And if in doubt, compare your code with the repo code (but don't just be tempted to blindly cut & paste, because you aren't gonna really learn much doing it that way, right?)
