cordovasim: Invalid character '\u0187' on line 2..FileWriter.js

[alpotrh]

Hi,

I'm trying to run our hybrid app on the cordova sim but I'm getting the following error:

!JavaScript ERROR: SyntaxError: Invalid character '\u0187' on line 2 for http://localhost:54938/plugins/cordova-plugin-file/www/FileWriter.js

!JavaScript ERROR: Error: Module cordova-plugin-file.FileWriter does not exist. on line 1469 for http://localhost:54938/cordova.js

!JavaScript LOG: deviceready has not fired after 5 seconds.

!JavaScript LOG: Channel not fired: onPluginsReady

!JavaScript LOG: Channel not fired: onCordovaReady

I'm sure there is nothing wrong with the app because we can build it just fine using ionic build. I've Googled the error and they said that it is a bug on version 8.  But I am now using version 10 of JBoss Developer. Does anyone knows how to fix this?  Below is my environment: 

Thanks

Hello, Alfredo

Could you share the app ?

Hi Ilya,

Sorry I'm not allowed to but I can clearly see that there's invalid character on the generated JS at http://localhost:50665/plugins/cordova-plugin-file/www/FileWriter.js.

cordova.define("cordova-plugin-file.FileWriter", function(require, exports, module) {

Hello, Alfredo

I have created Jira for this issue - [JBIDE-23634] cordovasim: Invalid character '\u0187' inFileWriter.js - JBoss Issue Tracker

Might be smth. wrong with plugin processing on CordovaSim side. Quite weird that it is reproducible for only a particular plugin / file though.

I have the same issue. Here is the code I wrote. I added a comment on the line where it complains.

deviceready: function() {

       $.getJSON( "http://localhost:8080/mobile-rest/rest/members", function( data ) {

            console.log("DamDaram");

            var items = [];

            $.each( data, function( key, val ) {

                console.log("items");

                items.push("<li><a href='#"+ key + "'>" + val.name +"</a></li>");

            });

            $("#contacts").append(items);

        }); // On this line it says there is an Invalid charachter.     

}
