Ionic.Platform.ready is not ready

ionic-v1
1

I am trying to detect that Cordova is ready so that I can start putting my device specific code.
So i am using the following and it doesn’t seem to work:-

    ionic.Platform.ready(function(){  
    	     console.log("cordova:",ionic.Platform.isCordova()); 
    	     console.log("paltform:",ionic.Platform.platform()); 
    	     console.log("version:",ionic.Platform.version()); 
 	});

all values are undefined… of course i am running on the device. and it is running from the app.run function.

i suspected this could be a problem with cordova, not with ionic, so i tried to do it directly with Javascript and it worked fine:-
document.addEventListener(“deviceready”, onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
// Now safe to use the Cordova API
console.log(“Device is ready”);
var element = document.getElementById(‘deviceProperties’);

    element.innerHTML = 'Device Name: '     + device.name     + '<br />' + 
                        'Device Cordova: '  + device.cordova + '<br />' + 
                        'Device Platform: ' + device.platform + '<br />' + 
                        'Device UUID: '     + device.uuid     + '<br />' + 
                        'Device Model: '    + device.model     + '<br />' + 
                        'Device Version: '  + device.version  + '<br />';
	}

This sounds like a really basic functionality in ionic Framework, i am not sure why it doesn’t work?

Where exactly are you putting that code? What version of Ionic are you using?

Here is how the sample apps (from Getting Started) use it:

// angular.module is a global place for creating, registering and retrieving Angular modules
// 'starter' is the name of this angular module example (also set in a <body> attribute in index.html)
// the 2nd parameter is an array of 'requires'
// 'starter.controllers' is found in controllers.js
angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'starter.controllers'])

.run(function($ionicPlatform, $timeout) {
  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    
    console.log('Platform ready!');

    if(window.StatusBar) {
      // org.apache.cordova.statusbar required
      StatusBar.styleDefault();
    }
  });
})

It seems maybe you’re using an old version of just using it wrong with ionic.Platform.ready. It needs to be $ionicPlatform.ready in the newer releases.

Calendee, thank you for the prompt response, I tested again this morning and my problem turned out to be completely different.
i am using the following to check the information:-

console.log("cordova:",ionic.Platform.isCordova());

and it looks like console.log does not work very well in Cordova, i have to put it like this:-

console.log("cordova:" + ionic.Platform.isCordova());

otherwise, the information after the comma in the first statement will appear as empty.

That was misleading to me, and to you , i am sorry about that.

I am using the latest version 1.0.0 beta of ionic, and both $ionicPlatform and ionic.Platform are working now perfectly.
Note that if ionic.Platform should not be used in that case, it still appears in the documentation here:-
