[jira] [Commented] (CB-6351) setMetadata fails silently

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6351?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13948163#comment-13948163 ] 

Ian Clelland commented on CB-6351:
----------------------------------

Have you recently updated your Cordova project?

The current version of Entry.js in the File plugin uses this line:

{code}
exec(successCallback, errorCallback, "File", "setMetadata", [this.filesystem.__format__(this.fullPath), metadataObject]);
{code}

which is functionally equivalent to using {{.toURL()}}.

It seems like you might be using new native code with old JavaScript. This has come up a couple of times with people upgrading their projects / plugins. I suspect it is a plugin upgrade bug.

> In Cordova 3.0.4 the setMetadata call on iOS fails silently. Android does not seem to have this issue.
> On the javascript side the following call is made (Entry.js): 
> exec(successCallback, errorCallback, "File", "setMetadata", [this.fullPath, metadataObject]);
> This fails silently on the native end. My callbacks are not invoked. I fixed this by changing this.fullPath to this.toURL(), conform the changes to the File plugin. After this change the callbacks did get invoked properly.
> Could you take a look at this and fix it in a future release?
