Unknown error in Android 10

[albertleao]

Used to work just fine, but now identical code always returns the following in my error handler

{id: "20200415_210326.mp4", error: "upload failed"}

Followed by

{id: "20200415_210326.mp4", error: "execute failed", state: "FAILED"}

These are the parameters I pass into the startUpload method:

"settings": {
"filePath": "file:///storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/20200415_210326.mp4"
"id": "20200415_210326.mp4"
"parameters": {
      "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data"
      "X-amz-algorithm": "AWS4-HMAC-SHA256"
      "X-amz-credential": "omitted"
      "X-amz-date": "20200505T225904Z"
      "X-amz-signature": "omitted"
      "acl": "private"
      "key": "216781588719190015_${filename}"
      "policy": "omitted"
      "success_action_status": "201"
   }
"serverUrl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket"
}

Running android 10 on a Samsung Galaxy s10+

I'm wondering if it has to do with this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58934803/2093658

EDIT: After digging in and trying to do a file upload with the regular cordova plugin, i found that using the same uri that this plugin uses results in a "permissions error" This is most likely to do with android 10 scoped storage.

Hi @albertleao could you try this branch ? https://github.com/spoonconsulting/cordova-plugin-background-upload/pull/84 and let us now if you are having the same issue ? Thanks.

[albertleao]

@ombr Hey! I'll be able to test this tonight and let you know.

[albertleao]

@ombr Unfortunately that branch did not work. I had the following error on upload:

FileTransferManager.js:11 Uncaught (in promise) Error: event handler must be a function
    at new FileTransferManager (FileTransferManager.js:11)
    at Object.init (FileTransferManager.js:89)

To get the plugin installed, I also had to download that branch locally and remove the <edit-config> for the Android:Name for there not to be any clashes.

[koczka]

I have the exact same issue. Any updates on the fix? Though it works some time from an android emulator with api 29, but never on an actual device.

[ombr]

Hi @albertleao @koczka, we are still working on the new version.

Could you try this branch ? afnetworking-spx-demo

We will replace the current master with this new version in a few week.

[koczka]

Sure, I'm going to try it right now.

Edit, can't install from this branch.

I think you will need to remove your platform and plugin directory and restart a build.

[koczka]

It still fails with the same error on a full clean platform install.

Here's my plugin config:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" spec="^1.3.3" />
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-statusbar" spec="^2.4.2" />

[ombr]

I will check on my side and get back to you when we have a new version fixing this.

[koczka]

Thank you for your time! Do you have any updates on this case?

[sc-nick]

Try

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-background-upload" spec="https://github.com/spoonconsulting/cordova-plugin-background-upload.git#afnetworking-spx-demo" />

instead of

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-background-upload" spec="~2.0.2" />

in your config.xml

[koczka]

Thanks, I was able to install the plugin this way, I'm gonna check the function to see if the uploads are working.

Now there's a new error happening:

Android Oreo requires a notification configuration…ml#startForegroundService(android.content.Intent)

[sc-nick]

Does the notification appear? Pls paste your entire config.xml

[koczka]

I had the showNotification set to false, and I got the error above. I set notifications to true, and it did show up in the notification centre, but now I get the execute failed error again.

{id: "pic-6", error: "execute failed", state: "FAILED"}

My config.xml

``` ```

[koczka]

I set showNotification to true as I stated above, but then I get the original execute failed error again.

[sc-nick]

Ok, so paste your upload config because I can't reproduce the error (parameters you pass into startUpload)

[koczka]

Here's an upload object

{
  id: `pic-${idx}`,
  filePath: path,
  fileKey: 'files',
  showNotification: true,
  serverUrl: url,
  headers: {
    Authorization: this.token
  },
    parameters: {
    gid: this.galId
  }
}

[sc-nick]

It should work, please check the demo in case you missed something. Let me know if you get the same error with the demo.

[koczka]

The uploads are working now, but I can't seem to get the event callback to fire.

[sc-nick]

More details pls

[koczka]

I'm using the init function from the demo you linked in your previous command, but I can't see any logs about the events. I'm testing on a huawei mate 10 pro, connected to chrome inspect.

[sc-nick]

The event is null?

[koczka]

No, it simply doesn't get called.

[sc-nick]

Could you paste your init?

[koczka]

It's literally copied from the demo, but there you go

Init code

``` init() { console.log('file uploader init'); this.uploader = FileTransferManager.init( { parallelUploadsLimit: 2, notificationTitle: 'Upload service', notificationContent: 'Background upload service running' }, event => { console.log('EVENT'); var correspondingMedia = this.getMediaWithId(event.id); if (!correspondingMedia) { return; } if (event.state == 'UPLOADED') { console.log('upload: ' + event.id + ' has been completed successfully'); console.log(event.statusCode, event.serverResponse); correspondingMedia.updateStatus('uploaded successfully'); } else if (event.state == 'FAILED') { if (event.id) { console.log('upload: ' + event.id + ' has failed'); correspondingMedia.updateStatus('Error while uploading'); } else { console.error('uploader caught an error: ' + event.error); } } else if (event.state == 'UPLOADING') { console.log('uploading: ' + event.id + ' progress: ' + event.progress + '%'); correspondingMedia.updateStatus('uploading: ' + event.progress + '%'); } if (event.eventId) this.uploader.acknowledgeEvent(event.eventId); } ); } ```

[koczka]

Yeah, the upload works fine, but no status updates whatsoever. It's running android 8.0.0

[sc-nick]

I tested it with the same android version and it works, no error in chrome inspect?

[sc-nick]

Try to init once platform is ready

this.platform.ready().then(() => { ... });

[koczka]

No error, nor any warning. It runs after platform.ready()

[ombr]

@koczka did you manage to make it work the way you want ? Did you manage to make the demo work on your side ? Thanks.
