Hello guys, i am trying to create a file using the ngCordovaFile plugin. But I am facing this error on my browser:

Here is my code

$cordovaFile.createFile(cordova.file.dataDirectory, "session.txt", true)
  .then(function (success) {
    // success
    console.log('Session OK');
  }, function (error) {
    // error
    alert(JSON.stringify(err));
  });

Do you have cordova included in your index.html?

6

Yes just before the cordova.js as asked in the doc. the ngCordova works well with other plugins like toast a social sharing but only File storage fails.

7

Have you wrapped it in a device ready event?

$ionicPlatform.ready(function(){

});
8

No I think it’s the problem! Can you give me a correct example please?

Hi @rickdana I’m afraid I updated the docs without creating a new release. The latest changes are in the master and should be working:

bower install ngCordova#master
