Cordova-plugin-iosrtc: Can't resolve 'cordova/exec'

[TravBradfield]

Expected behavior

I expect the plugin to compile.

Observerd behavior

After installing the plugin (cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-iosrtc), I run ionic serve and compilation fails with the error:

ERROR in ./node_modules/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/js/iosrtc.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'cordova/exec' in '/Users/../node_modules/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/js'

Steps to reproduce the problem

run either:

1. ionic serve
2. ionic cordova build ios

Platform information

• Cordova version: 9.0.0 ([email protected])
• Plugin version: 6.0.9
• iOS version: 13.1
• Xcode version: 11.4

This is most likely an issue with your enviroment.

The automated system validated the last build 3 days ago, including ionic build:

• https://travis-ci.org/github/cordova-rtc/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/jobs/671833620#L67

All I can tell you is:

• reinstall cordova
• reinstall ionic
• try cordova@8

Cordova 9 is know to have many issues and the most stable cordova is [email protected].
Can you provide the ionic version you are using.

Finally there is a similar issue on ionic repository, most likely ionic broke they shit again would not be the first time: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-app-scripts/issues/1176

[hthetiot]

Did you install the plugin this way ?

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-iosrtc

[TravBradfield]

Thanks for getting back to me!

I will try the reinstalls and see if that yields better results. I'll also install cordova 8.

I added the plugin using:

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-iosrtc

[hthetiot]

[hthetiot]

You still have the issue @TravBradfield ?
If yes, I will updat Travis build to test.

[TravBradfield]

@hthetiot Yes I do still have the issue... Please double check for me?

[hthetiot]

@TravBradfield ok I will check your enviroment, but i want you to understand that it's failing because you may use a more modern ionic and cordova setup than the current supported enviroment.

@hthetiot

Thanks for your help! Turns out I was importing the plugin incorrectly. When I changed it to the correct method of importing it works correctly.

Sorry for the trouble! Plugin is working spot on.

[hthetiot]

ahah I knew it, what did you do ?
How did you inmport it instead and how it you import it successfully ?

Build is running now here with you setup:

• https://github.com/cordova-rtc/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/pull/484

Let see what travis says oce completed:

[hthetiot]

Tell me what you where doing wrong so we can all learn.
Also make sure to read that part for publishing on the store: https://github.com/cordova-rtc/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/blob/master/docs/Building.md#apple-store-submission

Happy RTC.

[TravBradfield]

I was importing it like an @ionic-native plugin. Which is not correct.

I was doing:

import { iostrc } from 'cordova-plugin-iostrc'.

I changed it to

declare var cordova:

cordova.plugins.iosrtc

[hthetiot]

Ah yes, I see :)
Thank you, I will try to add to documentation may be we can also work on making it es6 module soon (in v7+)

[TravBradfield]

Thanks very much man! Your plugin is making a big difference already. I appreciate your fast responses!!

[hthetiot]

Here is what I recommend @TravBradfield to just use the WebRTC globals shim and not the plugin API methods.

declare var cordova:
// Expose WebRTC Globals
if (cordova && cordova.plugins && cordova.plugins.iosrtc) {
  cordova.plugins.iosrtc.registerGlobals();
  //cordova.plugins.iosrtc.debug.enable('*', true);
  cordova.plugins.iosrtc.turnOnSpeaker(true);
  cordova.plugins.iosrtc.requestPermission(true, true, function (result) {
    console.log('requestPermission.result', result);
  });
}

[TravBradfield]

Yeah that's exactly what I'm using. I built a JS video call app, but it wasn't working on iOS. By implementing cordova.plugins.iosrtc.registerGlobals(); the job was almost completely done.

[hthetiot]

Was good anyway, I needed to update travis ionic build, travis is happy now :)
