Ionic-cli: bug: Error when compiling app with Crosswalk

[perrygovier]

Type: bug

Platform: android 4.x webview

Hi!

We added Crosswalk to our ionic project from ionic-cli when it was released and there wasn't any problem until today.

Today, after changing some stuff in one of our custom plugins, I had to rebuild the android project (platform remove, platform add, add crosswalk browser...) and when I try to compile it, it shows me a lot of errors related with crosswalk which I cannot resolve.

To compile in android, I had to change compileSdkVersion, and buildToolsVersion in gradle file to match api 21 because one of our custom plugins needs it. Also, I added some dependencies like volley and appcompat. But these stuff was added before and the project compiled successfully.

So I have not been able to know what is going on here.

I'm using Crosswalk 11.40.277.7, but I tested with other ones and the thing wasn't better.

I attach the errors which shows up:

I'm also having the same problem.

[shustariov-andrey]

Same here

Also having the same problem.

[zackp30]

Oh, sorry, spoke too soon. I'm just using the standard Cordova CLI... sorry for the noise.

Was able to get mine to build, went with the first rule in tech- Reset It All!:

1) Remove all platforms (ios/android)
2) Remove all plugins from package.json (these have caused me issues in the past)
3) Remove platforms from package.json (looked like the "engine" section might have been stuck)
4) Ionic browser add crosswalk
5) Happy dance

Theory: plugins cause trouble, when in doubt, leave all your HTML/Css/Js alone, dump all plugins and platforms (anything that may cause trouble, facebook plugin, push plugin, etc) and rebuild. The migrations from the org.apache.cordova.device to cordova-plugin-device naming convention hasn't helped the situation at all. Progress is much needed, but the transitions aren't always smooth!

My platform, if it helps the Ionic crew at all:

Node Version: v0.12.0
Cordova CLI: 5.0.0
Ionic CLI Version: 1.4.0-alpha.6

@uofmmike Yep, you're onto something there. Resetting things seems to clear up some remnants that the Cordova CLI leaves behind.

I'd suggest @shprink you follow and let me know if that helps out.

reseting all did not help

@soulman-is-good im having the same error

[soulman-is-good]

@jbavari jbavari was unassigned by soulman-is-good a day ago

WTF! how did that happen?

@kevin1992 still no luck in this?

[caiyundong]

I have the same problem, after i compare the package.json with working one, found that the plugin cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview is at version 1.7.x, while working one uses version 2.2.0.

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview
cordova plugin add [email protected]

Then there is no problem of "ionic build android"

[soulman-is-good]

@caiyundong did solved the problem! )
Thank you a lot!

[brankoenero]

@caiyundong Thanks.

I removed plugin and added again. (in Ionic)
ionic plugin remove cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview --save
ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview --save

[zerobytes]

@caiyundong Just to be a bit more precise change the version to latest

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview@latest
