[robyroad]

@ragulra pasting the code it works! All the pathnames were wrong!

[LordDraagonLive]

@robyroad yah it worked for me as well. Thank you @ragulra. However, it's better if this problem got fixed ASAP. I'm not sure how does this error occurs, is it a bug ? Better mark this issue as a bug then.

[marcbru92]

I also have this problem. cordova-plugin-fcm/scripts/fcm_config_files_process.js:80:24 I will try to use that fix.

[yakitimor]

Very helpful, it made it work, finally after spending few hours - thanks a lot! This should be fixed...

[mhbt]

Not working for me still.

[robyroad]

By the way i suggest to use this plugin https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/firebase/. I've switched to firebase plugin instead of fcm and it works better!

[mhbt]

I am going to give it a try right now.

[trinity31]

I have solved this issue by changing the code in line 80 of fcm_config_files_process.js before: process.stdout.write(err); after: process.stdout.write(err.toString());

[langaro]

I have solved this issue by changing the code in line 80 of fcm_config_files_process.js before: process.stdout.write(err); after: process.stdout.write(err.toString());

Thank you so much!

[DerrickLePro]

thanks @robyroad your solution my help to find a solution to a similar error

[sureshthite]

I have solved this issue by changing the code in line 80 of fcm_config_files_process.js before: process.stdout.write(err); after: process.stdout.write(err.toString());

Yes, It is absolutely working fine. But, when we are getting registered token using cordova-plugin-fcm then it fails. I am unable to get registered token for sending push notification. Any idea about this?

[mydoal]

For me it was an empty platform\ios folder that caused this error. Use --verbose when running the command e.g.

cordova build browser --verbose

to get a more detailed error message.

Thank you so much

[mike-nelson]

Yeah, that code pasted in seems to fix this issue. Quite odd error message that you would not think would be fixed by changing the target paths.

I have forked and updated this file. Feel free to use this one: https://github.com/mike-nelson/cordova-plugin-fcm.git

cordova plugin add https://github.com/mike-nelson/cordova-plugin-fcm.git

plz remove the platform and add the platform , remove the fcm plugin and add the plugin ,

function directoryExists(path) { try { return fs.statSync(path).isDirectory(); } catch (e) { return false; } }

Thanks regula, but I do not understand what I have to past. The are formated code and code as text. Or should I clear the content of fcm_config_files_process.js and copy your code from

#!/usr/bin/env node

to

function directoryExists(path) {
try {
return fs.statSync(path).isDirectory();
} catch (e) {
return false;
}
}

Why the plugin is not updated? Thanks

[pierrot10]

the cordova-plugin-fcm look to be very annoying. I added the plugin and I modfied the line

process.stdout.write(err.toString());

As @alijaved59 wrote.

However, now when I run android to my devise

cordova run android --devise

I have go so many errors: I installed the last version of gradle 6.8.3

WARNING: Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation' and 'api'.
It will be removed in version 5.0 of the Android [Gradle](https://gradle.org/install/) 

and

> Task :app:processDebugGoogleServices FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

and

BUILD FAILED in 1s
4 actionable tasks: 1 executed, 3 up-to-date
Command failed with exit code 1: /Users/pamey/Documents/Cordova/smartbud/platforms/android/gradlew cdvBuildDebug -b /Users/pamey/Documents/Cordova/smartbud/platforms/android/build.gradle

Note: In the build.gradle file, I have the classes:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2"
        classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.5"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

If I remove cordova-plugin-fcm, I can run the command

cordova run android --devise

What hapen with gradle? I hope some can help me Thanks a lot
