cordovaRef.addConstructor is undefined in cordova 2.7

[breville]

After upgrading a project to cordova 2.7, and also updating to latest GAPlugin, this runtime error occurs:

TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'cordovaRef.addConstructor') at GAPlugin.js:56.

Is addConstructor now gone? Does GAPlugin need to be updated appropriately?

thanks

Are you doing a local (manual) build, or are you using PhoneGap Build? Also is this on Android, or iOS?

[breville]

This is a local manual build for iOS.

ETA on fix? Or should I roll back to Cordova 2.5?

This StackOverflow answer seems to indicate that you can just remove the surrounding addConstructor() and just run the code in the constructor function directly. I haven't actually tried this, and I know very little about PhoneGap plugins. But if you want to give that a shot, I'd be interested in the results. I'm having issues using the plugin with PhoneGap 2.9.0 on PhoneGap Build and it certainly is reporting that there is no addConstructor(), so...

I just solved this issue in my app by changing line 2 in GAPlugin.js like so:

// Reordered fallbacks to hopefully fix iOS compatibility
// var cordovaRef = window.PhoneGap || window.Cordova || window.cordova;
var cordovaRef = window.PhoneGap || window.cordova || window.Cordova;

Somehow, the window.Cordova variable was being set to a value that wasn't an actual usable object :|

@zmillman This preliminarily seems to be resolving the issue for me as well. I'm running PhoneGap/Cordova 3.0 with a slightly modified java file, but the javascript was stock until the patch that you suggested.

Fixed

I had the same issue with clean install Phonegap CLI 3.1 for Android to local build.
Il fixed them with zmillman change :

// var cordovaRef = window.PhoneGap || window.Cordova || window.cordova;
var cordovaRef = window.PhoneGap || window.cordova || window.Cordova;
