[Angular + Capacitor (without Ionic)] "Cannot destructure property 'routes' of '(intermediate value)` as it is undefined"

gxolin commented 1 month ago

I'm running a small angular application, with capacitor enabled for ios/android, and everything worked fine until I import this plugin.

Context : I'm totally new to the capacitor/cordova development but I have a significant angular app running. I'm making a small test app with ~~cordova~~ edit: Capacitor to investigate the possibility to add capacitor & in-app purchases to build my app for native markets. I can't remove or disable some angular features like SSR, because they are critical for my application.

Observed behavior

When I'm in a .ts file, when I add any of those two imports :

import 'cordova-plugin-purchase';
import 'cordova-plugin-purchase/www/store'

I can't build my application anymore :

> ng build
An unhandled exception occurred: Cannot destructure property 'routes' of '(intermediate value)' as it is undefined.
See "/tmp/ng-hmbK49/angular-errors.log" for further details.

> cat /tmp/ng-hmbK49/angular-errors.log

    at async Task.run (/home/[...]/node_modules/listr2/dist/index.cjs:2143:11)

(Removing this import allows the build to complete without errors)

Note : When using ng serve, the code compiles as expected.

Expected behavior

no errors during build

Would you mind sharing your small test app (in a git repository, or archive)? This way I don't have to recreate one in order to attempt to reproduce this (I don't have a capacitor + angular project ready to test this). Thanks!

sure, I have some proprietary code at the moment, I'll try to make a cleaned up version as soon as possible, thanks

launching ng build should crash with :

> ng build
An unhandled exception occurred: Cannot destructure property 'routes' of '(intermediate value)' as it is undefined.
See "/tmp/ng-L2Kqxa/angular-errors.log" for further details.

Custom code not generated by angular/capacitor installation :

updated paths in test/capacitor.config.ts to match angular output dir
adding build-and-serve-android alias in test/package.json
creating 1 abstract and 2 classes : test/src/app/services/iap.service.ts and it's iap-browser.service.ts and iap-node.service.ts implementations. This ensure i won't ever call iap code on my backend server while rendering SSR.
registering iap-browser service in browser code : test/src/app/app.config.ts { provide: IapService, useClass: IapBrowserService }
registering iap-node service in backend code : test/src/app/app.config.server.ts { provide: IapService, useClass: IapNodeService }
just adding the import 'cordova-plugin-purchase'; here : test/src/app/services/iap.service.ts

let me know if you need something else or if I can help !

It's not ideal, but as a workaround in the meantime, i've pushed a PR to the awesome-cordova-plugins repository (see mention just above). I don't know how all of this works, but apparently the way awesome-cordova import the scripts don't throw the error mentioned before.

(Note for visitors : my workaround, is only lightly tested, I'm new to both capacitor and cordova-plugin-purchase. I'll test it more thoughtfully in the next days, I'm working on a angular + capacitor in app purchase integration.)
