Cannot call method 'paste' of undefined for ngCordova with ionic and phonegap build

1

I am using the clipboard plugin https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard
i am using ionic ngCordova extention set and building my app using the phonegap build service.

phonegap version 3.7.0

i have added the plugin like so and it works great with the JavaScript way:

     window.plugins.clipboard.paste(function (text) { alert(text); });

but when i use the $cordovaClipboard i am getting this error:

  module.controller('ClipboardCtrl', function($scope, $cordovaClipboard) {
  $cordovaClipboard.paste().then(function (result) {
         // success, use result
        }, function () {
         // error
           });
     });

This happens only on the build service and not in the CLI.

From what I can see:

  • You have included ngCordova js file
  • You’ve injected ngCorodva into the Ionic project (you would receive a different error instead)
  • $cordovaClipboard is injected into the controller

Questions:

Have you included ngCordova js before cordova js file?
Is this ClipboardCtrl the first controller that runs in your application?

A:yes i have

Is this ClipboardCtrl the first controller that runs in your application?
A: No

i am for now doing it the JavaScript way

     window.plugins.clipboard.paste(function (text) { alert(text); });

will post and let you know after further testing
