Deploy: Cannot check for updates

[mjaworski-eab]

We had our application working for Ionic Cloud Beta. When we updated to Stable and updated the libraries we always get false from $ionicDeploy.check().

We reviewed these things:

• Versions of libraries
• Our setup with $ionicCloudProvider.init is set
• Our Ionic IO configurations exist and we have run ionic io init
• Our code after initializing calls check

Our actual call to check looks like:

.controller('updateIonicController', function ($ionicDeploy) {
 $ionicDeploy.check()
  .then((hasUpdates) => {
    // ISSUE; hasUpdates is always false     
  });
});

Cloud Setup

.io-config.json

{"app_id":"...","api_key":"..."}

ionic.config.json

{
  "name": "...",
  "v2": false,
  "typescript": false,
  "app_id": "..."
}

In our source code:

$ionicCloudProvider.init({
  core: {
    app_id: // we verified that this id exists and has a newer version uploaded to the correct channel
  }
});

Error Log

This is copied from adb logcat. The error is below with IONIC.DEPLOY.PARSEUPDATE. I looked into IonicDeploy.java and it seems the issue is below. The if statement (response.json != null) discovers that response.json is null. I could not discover any other info.

private void parseUpdate(CallbackContext callbackContext, JsonHttpResponse response) {

    this.last_update = null;
    String ignore_version = this.prefs.getString("ionicdeploy_version_ignore", "");
    String loaded_version = this.prefs.getString("loaded_uuid", "");

    try {     
      if (response.json != null) {
        // ...
      }
      else {
        logMessage("PARSEUPDATE", "Unable to check for updates.");
        callbackContext.success("false");
      }
}

Additional Hint

When our application starts we get this message in chrome://inspect.

@jaworskm What is the app id?

@Fuiste Let's add an update to the plugin that will dump more information about the request / response when checking for an update.

[mjaworski-eab]

app_id: b679588e

Thanks!

[mjaworski-eab]

Is there a resolution? How should we move forwards?

[Fuiste]

@jaworskm which version of ionic-plugin-deploy are you using? I ask because I can't reproduce this issue with 0.11.0 of the cloud client and 0.6.5 of the deploy plugin.

[mjaworski-eab]

Ok, that could work. We were on:

• "ionic-plugin-deploy@0.6.4"
• "@ionic/cloud": "0.9.0"

I'll update and try. Thanks!

[Henryisthebest]

[Henryisthebest]
