phonegap cordova.js is missing

Question

I use my connected phone as an ADB device.

→ phonegap -v 3.1.0-0.15.0

I have almost nothing in my index.html

    <script type="text/javascript" src="phonegap.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/main.js"></script>
</body>

When i run

→ phonegap local run android  
[phonegap] compiling Android...
[phonegap] successfully compiled Android app
[phonegap] trying to install app onto device
[phonegap] successfully installed onto device

I can see my app runing and before did not notice the error in console. Then i tried more complicated things like ngRoute but it did not work. I decided to remove all data to almost empty project as you can see(to be sure something else does not cause this error).

Then i checked the console via:

adb logcat | grep -i console

And i see:

But it does not makes sence. I have this script tag in my index.html as you can see + this file exists in:

platforms/android/assets/www/

I also copied this file into my normal www directory.

So what's the problem please?

Answer 1

Try to remove the line:

<script type="text/javascript" src="phonegap.js"></script>

from your index.html. If you take a closer look you will see that phonegap.js and cordova.js are the same size. Apparently phonegap.js exists for legacy support reasons, but you should use only cordova.js.

This is what it's actually suggested in the GitHub Issue referenced in the comments, and it did the trick for me, I stopped getting the Could not find cordova.js script tag message.

Answer 2

I replaced the phonegap.js with cordova.js and it worked, as referenced here: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-cli/issues/134#issuecomment-22035314

Remove from index.html:

<script type="text/javascript" src="phonegap.js"></script>

and add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>

Answer 3

I have resolved this issue by completely reinstall of everything and setting up enviroment back again but now BY CORDOVA TERMINAL COMMANDS not phonegap.
