TypeError: $window.sqlitePlugin is undefined

[nekulin]

I'm doing a project on ionic and try to use sqllite

1) cordova plugin add https://github.com/brodysoft/Cordova-SQLitePlugin.git 2) app.js

.run(function($ionicPlatform, $cordovaSQLite) {
  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
      var db = $cordovaSQLite.openDB({ name: "my.db" }); 

Error TypeError: $window.sqlitePlugin is undefined

index.html

<!-- cordova script (this will be a 404 during development) -->
  <script src="lib/ngCordova/dist/ng-cordova.js"></script>
  <script src="cordova.js"></script>

Try including the sqlite.js file like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="SQLitePlugin.js"></script>

Such a file is there and gives a 404

Im also having this issue. Just a simple project, added the plugin, ran it on WinRT (Windows 8.1 and my Phone 8.1 device) and this appears on JavaScript Console:

SQLitePlugin openargs: {"name":"my.db"} undefined

For all of you having problems and needing some info, this worked for me using Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova (code from my index.html page, inside "head" section).
Note how I am referencing the SQLite plugin, even though in my app folder hierarchy, it sits under , plugins/com.brodysoft.sqlitePlugin/www/

Look at the extension of Raboy's implementation, here: https://gist.github.com/borissondagh/29d1ed19d0df6051c56f

Also, make sure you're using Chrome as your environment; Firefox doesn't support offline SQL (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11618747/window-opendatabase-throws-typeerror-objectobject-domwindow-has-no-method-op)
