Hi there,
Please help me in regards to an issues I am facing while settings up development environment for Moodle Mobile2
I am following the steps mentioned in https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Setting_up_your_development_environment_for_Moodle_Mobile_2.
below is the errors I am seeing after command : "ionic state restore"
" cordova plugin add https://github.com/Tunts/WebIntent
Caught exception:
undefined "
Somebody please let me know the solution for this.
Thanks in advance,
Sandip
Hi Sandip
I am having similar difficulties. I was able to build the app about a year ago following the environment set up information but I don't think that information is correct any more and hasn't been updated....I might be wrong....but haven't been able to find any information to confirm
I can't get passed the initial npm install without an error (concerning appium I think!). Can you run npm install without issue?
My environment is as follows:
Node - 0.12.7
NPM - 2.11.3
Cordova - 6.5.0
Ionic - 2.2.3
Bower - 1.8.0
Gulp - Cli version 3.9.1
Is this similar to your environment?
Can anyone confirm what the environment should be, if not the above?
Any help would be great!
Thank you
Jim
Hi Jim,
I think I have gone pass this pain of having errors related to appium.
Initially I tried to install it with the environment settings mentioned in the doc, but I was having issues (may be same as yours) with 'npm install'. So I upgraded my environment with latest versions as below:
Node - 6.7.0
NPM -3.10.3
Cordova - 7.0.0
After lots of struggle I could reach to the step - ionic state restore . and this is where I am stuck now.
Cheers,
Sandip
Hi Sandip
Thank you for your reply, it's much appreciated
I'll update my node and npm packages to see if I can get to the same point as you and then hopefully I can offer you some help in return!
I'm pretty sure our problems are all down to the set up environment, it would be great if someone could confirm what these should now be....alas, it's difficult to guess!
I also had to install Python to get rid of other errors....this isn't mentioned in the environment set up documentation either

Hi Sandip
I seem to have made a breakthrough and I can now build the mobile app and run it in the browser locally.
I uninstalled Node 6.10.3 and re-installed Node version 0.12.7.
I still get an appium error when running npm install but all the other steps work without an error (even ionic state restore - webintent is downloaded without issue). I'm not sure what the appium error is yet but it looks like things are functioning so far....so maybe it's not a big issue!
My environment is as follows and seems (further testing needed!) to work:
Node 0.12.7
NPM 4.6.1
bower 1.8.0
gulp 3.9.1
Ionic 2.2.3
cordova 6.5.0
I hope this might help you!
Jim
Hello guys,
Got stuck at same point.
When installing ionic, it says that needs node v6.9.x.
You installed ionic first then changed node version?
My environment:
Node 6.9.1
NPM 5.0.0
bower 1.8.0
gulp 3.9.1
Ionic 2.2.3
cordova 7.0.1
The documentation to set up the development environment was updated on monday to adapt to latest changes, now Node 6.9.1 should be used (it might work with newer versions, but I can verify it works for 6.9.1).
What is the exact error you're getting? Which OS are you using?
Kind regards,
Dani
Hello Sandip,
can you manually run the instruction that is failing to see if it works by itself? Instead of running "ionic state restore", just run:
cordova plugin add https://github.com/Tunts/WebIntent
Kind regards,
Dani
At least for me, running it mannualy gives error too.
Attached npm-debug.log when i try manually
That's weird, running:
cordova plugin add https://github.com/Tunts/WebIntent
shouldn't have anything to do with npm, yet your log is full of npm messages. Are you sure the log is for the instruction above?
I guess that they are using npm since 2016:
https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2015/04/21/plugins-release-and-move-to-npm.html
Attached a printscreen when running cordova plugin add https://github.com/Tunts/WebIntent
After removing those plugins that arent working, i had to copy everything inside bower_components to www/lib otherwise a blank screen was all what i got.
Hi
I have same problem!
is there any solution for this?
My versions are:
node : v6.9.1
npm : 3.10.8
cordova : 7.0.1
My npm log is attached
I haven't fixed it. Just removed him and anything else that give me the same error.
App is running fine and after publishing for the first time i will look to fix those plugins.
Solution:
Downgrade cordova to version 6.5.0 and everything will be OK (If you got errors remove plugins from "platform" directory and try again)
For documentation (Hoping admins mention these versions in the setup tutorial wiki page):
My current working versions are:
node : 6.9.1 (with nvm 0.33.2)
npm : 3.10.8
cordova : 6.5.1
ionic : 2.2.3
gulp : 3.9.1
bower : 1.8.0
Best Regards
AWESOME Ariyan, it worked for me either.
Since i am using Linux I just removed ios platform from package.json and then ionic state restore worked perfectly.
Thanks and best regards.
Good
You're welcome
Thank you for posting the solution!
For now I updated the docs to force installing Cordova 6.5. I also created an issue to try to fix this:
https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MOBILE-2141
Cheers,
Dani
Thank you
But still we have other problems!
cloud phonegap build doesn't have the same problematic plugins!!
So at the end we need to disable these! or download the HUGE SDKs !
