HTTP plugin is not installed

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

Error

I install native http using this tutorial.


$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-http
$ npm install --save @ionic-native/http

And I get this erro.

[20:49:03] console.warn: Native: tried calling HTTP.get, but the HTTP plugin is not installed.
[20:49:03] console.warn: Install the HTTP plugin: ‘ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-http’

  • How are you testing?
  • What does ionic cordova plugin list return?
  • Is there a good reason why you are using the HTTP native plugin and not Angular’s http?

Im using ios emulator.

cordova-plugin-compat 1.1.0 "Compat"
cordova-plugin-console 1.0.5 "Console"
cordova-plugin-device 1.1.4 "Device"
cordova-plugin-file 4.3.3 "File"
cordova-plugin-http 1.2.0 "SSL Pinning"
cordova-plugin-splashscreen 4.0.3 "Splashscreen"
cordova-plugin-statusbar 2.2.2 "StatusBar"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.1 "Whitelist"
ionic-plugin-keyboard 2.2.1 “Keyboard”

HTTP is the first plugin a tried. There is a good reason to not using this plugin?

4

Angular’s Http is more friendly.

5

Exactly, if there is no good reason, look into this: https://angular.io/guide/http

6

I have the same issue, install and reinstall and only get this warn console.warn: Native: tried calling HTTP.get, but the HTTP plugin is not installed. :rage::rage::rage::rage:

7

As has been stated before, do you have a particular reason to use the native HTTP plugin rather than the Angular one?

8

Ionic native, Ionic 3

9

What I mean is that Angular’s HTTP fulfills at least 95% of use cases, and is far easier to use. So do you specifically have a use case that is in the last 5%?

If you have multiple simultaneous requests to the same server Chrome stalls the connections. Native HTTP calls can help there.

11

Have the same issue :frowning: . The question is not about using Angular’s http request or not.
There is an Ionic Native Plugin and it’s not working.

The Ionic Native HTTP changed the cordova plugin they are using since the old one hasn’t been updated for a while. During the change the reference to the plugin has’t been updated so it’s broken. (See: plugin_not_installed error with ionic · Issue #8 · silkimen/cordova-plugin-advanced-http · GitHub)

You can fix it by changing the old referenced plugin to new one: (After the commit also updating the plugin will fix the issue)

in @ionic-native/plugins/http/index.ts:

change:

pluginRef: ‘cordovaHTTP’,

to:

pluginRef: ‘cordova.plugin.http’,

See commit: Plugin ref fix · danielsogl/awesome-cordova-plugins@49ee0d8 · GitHub

Thank you. It worked.

I installed the plugin just yesterday, but it is still wrong.

14

Can I make a request to a fixed url with angulars HTTP. So not relative but like this https://anydomain.com/api/thing

Will I not run into CORs issues with that? Or is there a way around it using angular HTTP?
Keep in mind that I do not have control over the code or response from the URL.

15

Is anyone still facing the issue? I am getting a same error now

Native: tried calling HTTP.setDataSerializer, but the HTTP plugin is not installed.
Install the HTTP plugin: 'ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-advanced-http'

My ionic info


cli packages: (/usr/local/lib/node_modules)

    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.19.2

and my plugin and node module version

Any help please?

@maruti
I think the platform is not ready when you call it. Try wrap it inside a platform.ready().

Hi@Mcelogomes
My suggestion is to install like this and also import it to your root module
like
import { HTTP } from '@ionic-native/http';

   ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-advanced-http
   npm install --save @ionic-native/http

Thanks @tokuhara, your solution worked for me.
