Cordova-plugin-local-notifications: Error: Failed to fetch plugin de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification

[DuaneQ]

Unable to install $ ionic cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification as described on Ionic's website: http://ionicframework.com/docs/native/local-notifications/

I get the following:

cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification --save
✖ Running command - failed!

[ERROR] Cordova encountered an error.
You may get more insight by running the Cordova command above directly.

[ERROR] An error occurred while running cordova plugin add
de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification --save (exit code 1):

    Error: Failed to fetch plugin

    Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is
    incorrect.
    Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

Seems to be related to the npm version used, see: https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications/issues/1329

[d3w201]

same problem

[arobert93]

Same here.

[stevesum]

This problem is probably because you use cordova 7. Try use the --nofetch
option to get the previous behaviour of the cordova.

cordova plugin add {plugin-name} --nofetch

The cordova 7 uses the npm to install the plugins, and probably your npm is
not globally installed, or misconfigured.

@stevesum - I've got npm globally installed, and npm's been working fine on my windows machine, but on my mac it fails with this issue.

Would you be able to enlighten me on what the misconfiguration with npm@5 and cordova@7 are, so that I can look to try and correct them?

[SoilChang]

I have the same problem. I'm on macOS.

node -v
v8.2.1

npm -v
5.3.0

cordova -v
7.0.1

P.S.
cordova plugin add {plugin-name} --nofetch

works for me. however, there will be a
"cordova-plugin-app-event": "file:node_modules/cordova-plugin-app-event",
in package.json, which always causes problems on new machines.

[seth100]

same here.
Hope it will be fixed soon. Thanks

[Meday]

I had the same error.
macOS: 10.12.6
node: 8.3.0
npm: 5.3.0
cordova: 7.0.1
ionic v1 (but I don't think this is a problem)

Now it's working but I had to "clean" my project first:

• remove platforms android and ios (ionic cordova platform rm)
• remove plugins: cordova-plugin-device, cordova-plugin-app-event, de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification
  (through cordova plugin rm, npm rm or manually in the nodes_modules and package.json)
• install separately: cordova-plugin-device, cordova-plugin-app-event, de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification (ionic cordova plugin add)
• install platforms (ionic cordova platform add)

I hope this will work for you too

[Pichardito]

After many days of pain I finally got the answer to my problems here: https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications/issues/1329 . @sxagan said the following: "I looked into node_modules and there is a file/symlink of the plugin i wanted to install. once i removed that, i have no problem installing the plugin." True enough, every time I checked out a pre-plugin installation of the app and proceeded to install cordova-plugin-local-notifications, I would notice a file (instead of the usual folders) in my node_modules. I removed the file and once again ran cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications and the plugin would install succesfully.

[erperejildo]

Tried to install by Github link but didn't work either

[stevesum]

if you use cordova 7.x then install it with nofetch property as they
suggest in the documentation.

cordova plugin add .... --nofetch

[erperejildo]

@stevesum fixed it using a HTML5 way :(

[amir-saniyan]

remove the following file (symlink): node_modules/cordova-plugin-device for every build.

[katzer]

Use the --nofetch flag when adding the plugin.

[askilondz]

Here's what worked for me. I had an empty cordova-plugin-app-event file in my node_modules directory. I deleted that then also removed its reference in package.json. Then ran ionic cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification --nofetch.

[hparth]

Facing same eoor :-

cordova plugin add http://github.com/apache/cordova-plugins.git#master:wkwebview-engine-localhost --save --nofetch
support for subdirectories is deprecated and will be removed in Cordova@7

Fetching plugin "https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugins.git" via git clone

[thedev5]

If using --nofetch didn't work for you, just check that you haven't run the command using sudo.

[cmastudios]

Just a note that this issue can also appear if you install cordova-plugin-local-notifications with an s instead of cordova-plugin-local-notification.

[gotters]

None of this has worked for me. --nofetch allows me to "add" the plugin but the build fails. I cant get even a clean Ionic3 app (ie newly created) to simply build once I add local notifications and most of the time i simply cant even add the plugin.
If anyone has a bunch of steps that work on a clean new project it would be most appreciated!

[daksamedia]

how about in Phonegap Build?

I have same issue when I build it.

When using Phonegap Build you need to remove:

source="git"

and use

git+https://github.com/... in plugin's spec
