Unable to install the plugin in Windows #1325

Closed changty closed 6 years ago

changty commented 7 years ago

Your Environment

rwillett commented 7 years ago

There are very, very few people doing stuff with Windows and this plugin. You may struggle to get help

changty commented 7 years ago

Yep, I noticed when Googling the issue. I was hoping someone here might have a clue what to do about the symlink issue. Let's hope for the best.

I will try later how the plugin is handled on my linux setup.

rwillett commented 7 years ago

It works fine on mac os x but that probably doesn't help you.

halindrome commented 7 years ago

Actually it is failing on max os x now too.

rwillett commented 7 years ago

Then you are doing so something wrong as it does install correctly for us.

Since you haven't explained how you are installing it, its difficult to say what the problem is. I do note that other people have had issues with npm versions, I suspect somebody has packaged them incorrectly.

changty commented 7 years ago

I managed to install the library on Linux without problems. I even copied the cordova-plugin-app-event folder from Linux node_modules to Windows and tried to reinstall local-notifications plugin with following results: 

PS C:\...\> cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications
Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
Failed to get absolute path to installed module

At least the folder is not a broken symlink anymore.

changty commented 7 years ago

I managed to install cordova-plugin-app-event via npm using version 1.1.0. It doesn't seem to have the same symlink problem than the most recent 1.2.0. I know this is not an ideal solutions but I'm ready to try anything at this point.

Next error is probably due cordova plugin manager and not this plugin, but I'll report it anyway.

Why are you using npm, are you saying the cordova plugin install doesn't work?

You still haven't said how you installed the plugin.

We use

cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications

and

cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#ios10

which works fine.

I've just created a new dummy cordova project and installed both the old plugin and the IOS10 branch plugin.

It notes that I've already installed with the previous installation so it errors but it does show that it can be installed.

changty commented 7 years ago

I wanted to test whether the problem is npm or cordova related and based on the results, it seems to be related to cordova plugin install.

Originally I tried to install the plugin using cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications, but when it failed, I did try the following: cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification@0.8.5

Both of these commands are visible in my previous messages. Is there other information I could provide to you considering the plugin install procedure?

rwillett commented 7 years ago

We just did it again and it worked fine for us on OS X. So I can only assume Windows does things differently.

Tawpie commented 7 years ago

@changty it's unlikely to help, but when things go sideways for me and I'm shotgunning-in-the-dark, I:

It's a bit of a wacky sequence and YMMV, but has made several mystery problems go away in the past.

Good luck with windows BTW, it's been a couple of years since I used the plugin there. I don't even remember if I used VS's Cordova tools to handle the plugins or used cordova itself...

changty commented 7 years ago

Thanks @Tawpie, I'll give it a shot next week. I've restarted the project couple of times but haven't uninstalled cordova (yet).

rwillett commented 7 years ago

Other plugins suggest this as well. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Mistes974 commented 7 years ago

Same problem here .. :/

tsoposki commented 7 years ago

I have the same issue on Windows, Linux and OS X.

skywalker1992 commented 7 years ago

Same problem here .. who can help me?? I need help!

[i SOLVED doing this]

cordova plugin rm de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device

then copy from my MAC project directory : "myProject/plugin/cordova-plugin-app-event" to my WINDOWS project directory : "myProject/plugin/"

after this try again to install plugin:

cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification

4 me it works! ;)

skywalker1992 commented 7 years ago

@d3w201 thank you very much! I use your method to solve my problem. I do not have a MAC,so I doing this in my windows: install plugin: cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-app-event and install plugin: cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification then there is no problems.

d3w201 commented 7 years ago

@skywalker1992 happy to be helpful mate 👍 !
