moodle mobile 2 don't accept path urls?

Hello,

I am customizing moodle mobile 2 application, I cloned the source code from the main repository, the thing is: when I run a test and enter the the first two demo-urls from www/config.js file in the url filed of the first screen they work very good, 

but the third one didn't work showing this message:

error message from mobile app

the same thing happened with my moodle website. the common thing between the two of them is the url form (path format). my version is 2.8 (of the moodle website).

I tested the two urls using the official mobile app for android and it works for both of them.

Hello Mohammed,

that site should work fine, if it works in the official app then it should work in your custom app. It's weird that some sites work for you but not these ones. Maybe you lack some Cordova plugin?

Please make sure you have everything installed if you're running the app using Ionic CLI:

https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Setting_up_your_development_environment_for_Moodle_Mobile_2

You can also try to use Remote Inspectors (Chrome and Safari) to see what's written in the Console/Network, maybe that helps you fix the issue.

Kind regards,

Dani

I think the problem is because I am using cloud9 (http://c9.io) as my development environment and when I test I write (ionic serve -ip $PORT) and c9  give an https url which causes problems with non https url entered to the siteurl field.

site url log errors

Hi again,

if  you're testing in a browser you should start it without security to allow requests without CORS. We recommend using Chrome or Chromium, here's how to start it.

Chrome in Windows:

"Path to chrome\chrome.exe" --allow-file-access-from-files --disable-web-security

Chrome in Mac:

open -a "Google Chrome" --args --allow-file-access-from-files --disable-web-security

Chromium in Mac:

open -a /Applications/Chromium.app --args --allow-file-access-from-files --disable-web-security

I hope this helps you fix the issue.

Kind regards,

Dani

I tried it in windows also, but it still not working!

Did you try it with the third demo_site url? I think there is a problem when testing with browsers, I build it with PhoneGap and it working but not in browser.

Please read my previous post. You need to start the browser using these flags:

--allow-file-access-from-files --disable-web-security

If I test your site without using those flags I get the same error as you do. Then I kill the browser, start it again using those flags and it works. That's because of CORS, it only affects browsers because Cordova doesn't perform the same checks as browsers.

Kind regards,

Dani
