Your Environment
Web browser, viewing your README at this location on your master branch.
Expected Behavior
Your README has a link to "Solving Build Failures" but it goes to a 404. I'd expect to click the link to view the page.
Actual Behavior
Clicking the link goes to a 404.
Steps to Reproduce
- Visit your README here
- Click "Solving Build Failures"
Context
I've got a build failure and I'm trying to self-help.
Debug logs
N/A.
If you've got a build failure, why are you not posting the error message?
No worries, I worked it out but wanted to let you know about the 404 so you can help others.
FYI my build problem was a crash in test-build.gradle on line 123 due to playServicesLocationVersion being null. It was null because I hadn't specified GOOGLE_API_VERSION anywhere. You might want to test that it's a string before splitting it, and advise the user to set the config var if it's null.
I hunted through code to work out how to fix that. I worked out that I could put it into my Cordova project's package.json under cordova.plugins.cordova-background-geolocation and set GOOGLE_API_VERSION to 21.+.
I'm not an Android expert through and this is a dependency of a dependency for me, so that involved a bit of guesswork to work out what value to insert.
I think perhaps the README should explicitly state that GOOGLE_API_VERSION needs to be set to something, and mention what the latest version is, for Android-bunnies like myself that doesn't even know what this setting really does.
Perhaps all that info is in the missing wiki page ;-)
Anyway, the build is working now. Thanks for the quick response.
Cheers, Scott
