Phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner: Build Failing

[riaz12s]

Has anyone had seen that the build is now failing ? I used to specify the URL in my Plugin.xml.

Plugin.xml
<plugin spec="https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner.git" source="git" />

This no longer works it gives a build error :(

Build does fail for Android in latest version:

@EddyVerbruggen @vladimir-kotikov Have you noticed this build failure?

[EddyVerbruggen]

@nikhilkh The problem of the OP was also reported elsewhere and was due to not using gradle when building in phonegap build. I've added a note about it to the readme today.

The problem of @nmaas87 has not yet been investigated yet but if it's a local build simply removing the platform and plugin and re-adding those should solve it as it's a new dependency this plugin depends on that's not being fetched (for some reason).

[nmaas87]

I recreated the project with phonegap 6.2.0 on ubuntu. the installation of barcodescanner went as following:

Fetching plugin "phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner" via npm
Installing "phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner" for android
Dependent plugin "cordova-plugin-compat" already installed on android.

after that, I now get this error:

[phonegap] executing 'cordova build android --debug'...
ANDROID_HOME=/opt/android-sdk-linux

I had the same error as @nmaas87, installing "Android Support Repository" via the Android SDK Manager fixed my problem.

[nmaas87]

Found the issue, thanks a lot! @mcgrandlej was right.
I needed to install some support libs and extras:

echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter "extra-android-support" && \
echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter "extra-android-m2repository" && \
echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter "extra-google-m2repository"

It worked after that :+1:

@nmaas87 thanks! It help me to solve my problem!

[Gerben321]

@nmaas87 Where do you enter that? On Windows. SDK Manager is reporting that Support Repository is installed.

[nmaas87]

@Gerben321 That comment was 2 years ago, I needed to install those on a clean installed Ubuntu. Today, the names and stuff have changed slightly i.e. not android update is used anymore, but sdk manager directly. So, it does not apply anymore.
