Ionic-native: Vibrate plugin doesnt work

[rodrigograca31]

I'm submitting a ... (check one with "x")
[x] bug report
[ ] feature request
[ ] support request

Current behavior:

Uncaught TypeError: Object(...) is not a function
    at Vibration.vibrate (vendor.js:85458)
    at 5.js:102
    at Object.callbackFromNative (cordova.js:291)
    at <anonymous>:1:9

Expected behavior:

should vibrate phone for 1 second.

Steps to reproduce:
this.vibration.vibrate(1000);

Related code:

import { Vibration } from '@ionic-native/vibration/ngx';

constructor(private vibration: Vibration) {}

exampleFunc () {
    this.vibration.vibrate(1000);
}

Other information:
I've added it in my a.module.ts file:

import { Vibration } from '@ionic-native/vibration/ngx';
...
providers: [
    StatusBar,
    SplashScreen,
    {provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler},
    Vibration
]

Ionic info: (run ionic info from a terminal/cmd prompt and paste output below):

Ionic:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)  : 4.12.0 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic)
   Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.3
   @ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.1

Cordova:

   cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.1.2 ([email protected])
   Cordova Platforms     : android 7.1.4
   Cordova Plugins       : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.1.3, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 3.1.2, (and 6 other plugins)

System:

   Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1 (/media/ntfs/android-sdk-linux)
   NodeJS            : v8.11.3 (/usr/local/bin/node)
   npm               : 6.9.0
   OS                : Linux 4.15

I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything ok.
Either it really doesnt work or I'm missing some basic detail....
I followed this official documentation
If I console.log(this.vibration) I get:

Vibration {}
    __proto__: IonicNativePlugin
        constructor: ƒ Vibration()
        vibrate: ƒ (time)
        __proto__: Object

Did you install the plugin as well? It is not clear in the report. What are you testing this on?

[rodrigograca31]

Yes I've run this 2 commands:

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-vibration
npm install @ionic-native/vibration

it works using navigator.vibrate(1000);
thats why I posted in the ionic-native repo, because the problem is with this "native" implementation

@chrisgriffith hahaha I was already writing the answer :smile:

@rodrigograca31 from where did you get the navigator, can u show complete sample code

[rodrigograca31]

@yazanOthman navigator is a global object..... the vibration plugin uses it...

@rodrigograca31 thanks for the reply, I have already found about it.

I get an error also with navigator:

 [log] - {"app":{}}
To Native Cordova ->  Vibration vibrate INVALID ["options": [1000]]

Any ideas? Anybody managed to use vibration with capacitor?

I was having this issue too on Android 10 with a Samsung Galaxy S9 when using this.vibration.vibrate(1000);. For me the issue was the phone was in silent mode which also disabled the vibration. Once I put the phone in vibrate mode or enabled the ringtone sounds the command worked as expected. I'm using Ionic 6.13.1 with Cordova 10.0.0.
