It’s not finding cordova.js … check it’s existence and location.

I haven’t ran through the guide myself so not 100% sure, but seems cordova/config related, not Ionic. Have you included any cordova plugins?

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device
cordova build

also does same thing happen when using

cordova emulate

You can also look into using the ripple-emulator

I’m going through the tutorial right now and will see what the issue is here. Cordova won’t exist in the browser test, since it gets included dynamically by cordova.

I’ve followed each of the steps in section 2 of the tutorial, so both the cordova.device and cordova.console are added to the project.

Just tried to emulate with the following:

cordova emulate
Generating config.xml from defaults for platform "android"
Preparing android project
Running on emulator for platform “android” via command “/Users/SM/Desktop/projects/devAPIS/hybrid-iconic/hello/platforms/android/cordova/run” --emulator
Platform “android” deployed to emulator.

Result was a white screen with the black title bar mis-aligned in the upper left corner and no text for the word “projects” was showing.

Just tested with the Ripple Emulator and only get the black header with the word “Projects” visible. Nothing else. The ripple emulator says it is using cordova 2.0.0, do I need to upgrade that. If so how is that done?

Hey @zoom. I wonder if you aren’t just missing something small that is making everything not work. What might help is putting the code up into a github repo and just sharing it so I can take a look.

I did just go through and update the guide since some stuff had changed. Sorry if you ran into an issue that was just a lapse in our docs, we hope that happens less as we get more stable.

Sure, look for the singular “hello” repository under zoomclub on github. All files I’m working with here should be there now. It will be good to learn what the issue is.

Really like the Ripple Emulator, maybe your tutorial can add an aside on how to set it up with the latest Cordova version and how to make best use of Ripple?

@zoom not sure how far you got, but your index.html is incomplete. Most noticeable is not having angular bootstrapped or a controller defined - in your body tag per the guide. Other missing content as well - side-menus, pane

@max I can see where the guide jumps around a bit with the code and not real clear what is changing/where at times. editTasks() for example is there, then gone, but never coded in the controller. Do you have the finished Todo app code available that is referenced in the guide somewhere? Worst case one could use it to help identify issues.

Please let me know when the guide is ready to go, then I’ll take another stab at it.

There should be definite points in the guide where things are tested to see if they work before moving on. Those test locations in the guide can offer possible aside debug advise as required.

For instance, when asked to drag the center content to reveal the side menu, I had no idea what needed to be clicked on, etc. because with only a blank screen at that point in the guide, both Iconic and the user of Iconic were setting themselves up for a bewildering failure, if it just happened to not work as expected.

In my case, I ended up bumbling right past it thinking to myself, “man, are I ever stupid or else my device is”. Mean while, the guide just showed a big empty screen. It might be best to put a temporary visual bullseye in the content at this stage to show what needs to be dragged.

Anyways, it was at this point in the guide that things started to go awry, it is the first important test of AngularJS so it should not not work. Although trivial in the total feature set of the app being built it is likely the most important test to have passed.

Hear hear. I’ve got some ideas on how to make the guide better now, and I definitely will put up the finished code repo. Thanks for your feedback :smile:

Stay tuned…

Hello Max!
I tried to set up an example to run on my Win7 machine, but it does not work as you described. I think there might be something wrong in my code… When I access a website or deploy it to the emulator I only get a blank page, although all the html and javascript is there. But I get this error in the javascript Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: ModalProvider <- Modal.
Here is a link to the github: https://github.com/alexeysviridov/ionic
Thanks!

Hi, I am facing the same problem. I cannot get pass “Chapter 3: Starting our App” because this “Try dragging the center content to the right (works with the mouse as well) to expose the left menu” doesn’t seem to work.

All I see is a black top bar with the title “Projects”.

I tested on iOS emulator and Safari Browser, same result. I have check the guide multiple times. Copied and paste the code. But still doesn’t work. @max Could you help me please?


On a side note, under “Chapter 3: Starting our App”, we are asked to change the content to this first,

<body>
  <ion-side-menus>
    <ion-pane ion-side-menu-content>
    </ion-pane>
    <ion-side-menu side="left">
    </ion-side-menu>
  </ion-side-menus>
</body> 

then to this after,

<body ng-app="todo">
  <ion-side-menus>

    <!-- Center content -->
    <ion-pane side-menu-content>
      <header class="bar bar-header bar-dark">
        <h1 class="title">Todo</h1>
      </header>
      <ion-content has-header="true">
      </ion-content>
    </ion-pane>

    <!-- Left menu -->
    <ion-side-menu side="left">
      <header class="bar bar-header bar-dark">
        <h1 class="title">Projects</h1>
      </header>
    </ion-side-menu>

  </ion-side-menus>
</body>

If you notice <ion-pane ion-side-menu-content> has changed to <ion-pane side-menu-content>, which is right?

Ah, we just pushed a new Ionic release a day or so again. Which version of Ionic are you using? Also you are right that it should be ion-side-menu-content. I just fixed that. Thanks!

@max I just installed ionic yesterday using npm install -g ionic.

ionic@0.9.16
ionic-0.9.24

Fixing <ion-pane ion-side-menu-content> help to solve the [Error] Error: [$compile:ctreq] Controller 'sideMenus', required by directive 'sideMenuContent', can't be found! error in Safari Error Console, though there is still the cordova.js not found error (which I think is not important when testing on browser).

But still, I only see a black bar with the title “Project”, cannot do any left side menu sliding.

Same here. Don’t know how to use ng-touch features now that it’s been removed from the ionic framework. see v0.9.21-alpha https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/releases

@johnlee it turns out that they bundled all the angular/ionic stuff into ionic.bundle.js More Build & Distribution Changes

so this codepen works http://codepen.io/anon/pen/mJfuI note the use of version v0.9.25

Though a note that swiping only registers when done on the navbar would’ve been nice. I spent some more time wondering why I couldn’t swipe to see the side panel.

Thank you! I’m evaluating ionicframework as I’ve looked at just about every other possible framework out there and this seems like the most straight forward approach to building a phonegap / angular based app.

The stable release was showing 0.9.24 so I downloaded that. The swipe didn’t work and I saw “Projects” as opposed to “Todo”. No errors in the console other than the cordova.js file missing but I expected that. I inserted the links to the 0.9.25. css/js into my index.html file and now the app works.

I truly appreciate this framework and want to use it for my project. I was skeptical about it being an alpha release but was will willing to try this out based on what I’ve read. Would definitely help if there were some validation tests I could have run or something.

Thank you all for this framework. Hoping I can finish my evaluation and choose this one for my project as this has been several days of evaluating other approaches.
