AppBuilder works poorly with ng-cordova

[Tyler]

So this was an interesting bug that I stumped upon. There is a new library at ngcordova.com that makes using cordova plugins easier with Angular. Anyway, the javascript file is called "ng-cordova.js". When the simulator runs, code gets tacked onto this file by AppBuilder. I think AppBuilder looks for any file that ends in "cordova.js" and tacks on javascript code to it before runtime.

Hi Tyler,

Thank you for reporting this issue - we can confirm it is a bug and I logged it in our internal bug tracking system. As a small sign of appreciation for bringing it to our attention, I updated your Telerik points.

As for the support of ng-cordova, please note that the AppBuilder Simulator cannot work with custom plugins. Please have a look at its limitations for more information. This means that you might not be able to test any plug-in related logic implemented via ng-cordova in the Simulator. However, if you share a sample app utilizing ng-cordova, we will gladly take a closer look at it.

Once I renamed ng-cordova.js to something else, I have had no problems using it in the simulator. ng-cordova is just a wrapper for the core cordova plugins. Thank you for your support.

I am also facing Same issue. Is there any work around for this?

[Tyler]

Yes, rename "ng-cordova.js" to something else like "ng-c.js"

Hi Tina

Can you tell me if this bug/problem has been fixed in the latest AppBuilder 2.5?
I checked the changelog and couldn't see it.

Thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,

This issue is not yet resolved but we will do our best to address it for the AppBuilder 2.6 release. In the meantime, I hope renaming the files as a workaround is an acceptable approach for you.
