Phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner: Issue dependency cordova-plugin-compat

[Jasman]

I get the problem with the following error message:

D:\barcode_scanner>cordova` plugin add cordova-plugin-compat --save
Installing "cordova-plugin-compat" for android
Plugin doesn't support this project's cordova-android version. cordova-android:
6.3.0, failed version requirement: <6.3.0
Skipping 'cordova-plugin-compat' for android
Adding cordova-plugin-compat to package.json
Saved plugin info for "cordova-plugin-compat" to config.xml

according https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-compat, cordova-plugin-compat is now included in cordova-android 6.3.0, no need add plugin again.

What code should I change to support for cordova-android 6.3.0?

[jcesarmobile]

yeah, it's included. But as it's not installed for Android you should not have problems using barcode scanner plugin.
Anyway we should remove the dependency. The code is located in plugin.xml and package.json, feel free to send a PR

still showing the same error when cordova build android.

I've released a 7.0.0 version to resolve this issue. If you are using cordova android 6.3.0 or later you should pin your barcode scanner version to 7 or higher. For those who are still on cordova-android < 6.3.0 continue using barcode scanner ^6.0.0

[Jasman]

solved, thank you

[jlchereau]

Not solved - see #565.

I got v6.0.8 to work with android platform v6.3.0 as explained at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46562289/multiple-dex-files-define-lorg-apache-cordova-buildhelper/46957938#46957938:

phonegap plugin rm cordova-plugin-compat --force
phonegap plugin add [email protected]
phonegap platform rm android
phonegap platform add [email protected]

So maybe upgrading cordova-plugin-compat to v1.2 instead of removing it might have been a better option.

[macdonst]

@jlchereau nope, we want to get rid of compat altogether. If you are using cordova-android >= 6.3.0 use barcodescanner 7+. If you are using cordova-android < 6.3.0 use barcode scanner ^6.

[uniphonic]

Where do we get barcodescanner 7+ ? The releases only show 6.0.5 as the highest version ( https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner/releases ).

[jcesarmobile]

It's publised on npm https://www.npmjs.com/package/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner

[uniphonic]

OK, thanks!

[Pamblam]

If you are using cordova-android >= 6.3.0 use barcodescanner 7+. If you are using cordova-android < 6.3.0 use barcode scanner ^6.

This should be in big letters at the top of the readme. I spent all day trying to figure out how to get this thing to build on 6.3...

[jcesarmobile]

We expect people to always use latest version of everything.

Anyway, package.json has a section for cordova dependencies where you can sort of guess which versions to use with each cordova version.

[yeshchaubey]

this solved - see #565.

I got v7 to work with android platform v6.3.0 as explained at.

1. 
   
   • phonegap plugin rm cordova-plugin-compat --force
   
   
2. 
   
   • phonegap plugin add [email protected]
   
   
3. 
   
   • ionic cordova platform rm android
   
   
4. 
   
   • ionic cordova platform add [email protected]
   
   

So maybe upgrading cordova-plugin-compat to v1.2 instead of removing it might have been a better option.
