------------------------------------------
Summary: WP8 file requests are not relative to www folder
Key: CB-4054
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4054
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Docs, Plugin File, WP8
Affects Versions: 2.9.0
Environment: Windows 8 x64
Reporter: Frederico Costa Galvão
Assignee: Michael Brooks
I started migrating my app (http://tippz.mobi) to *WP8* and found that all
files requested via js (xhr) are expected to be served relative to the project
root (at least on development/emulator, but I can't imagine it to be different
on other environments), which is not according to the way it happens on iOS and
Android.
On both iOS and Android, working directory for the code serving files via xhr
is the 'www' folder (or is it the folder where my 'index.html' is located?),
while on WP8 it is 'www/..' (the project root, in other words). Resources
mapped directly on the html file however are served from the right directory on
all cases.
There is also no word about it on the docs, the only thing I found was an
answer on stackoverflow.
Adding the following code on line 717 of Plugins/File.cs@readResourceAsText()
solved the problem (so far!, can't be sure it didn't have side effects as I
could not make my app work well enough on WP8 yet):
{code:java}
pathToResource = "www/" + pathToResource;
{code}
Also, on the same method and file, +optStrings+ variable is expected to always
have 5 fields, but everytime I ran my app Visual Studio threw me an exception
because +optStrings+ never have more than 2 fields. I solved it surrounding
remaining variables attribution with an if(optStrings.Length>2){}.
