[jira] [Commented] (CB-12218) inconsistent null handling between EVAL and ONLINE bridge modes

["Joe Bowser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12218?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15723759#comment-15723759 ] 

Joe Bowser commented on CB-12218:
---------------------------------

[~akinzie] I agree, and we should be converting null to the string "null". since we're actually executing Javascript and not mucking about with the ONLINE_EVENT bridge passing strings.

Which plugin does this fail the most on? That'd be helpful when writing tests for this thing.

> If the Android native code invokes the success callback like this:
> callbackContext.success(null);
> then the value given to the javascript callback changes depending on the bridge type used.
> If the ONLINE_EVENT type is used, then null will be passed to the javascript callback.
> ie: if result is the parameter of the javascript success callback then
> result === null  // will be true
> result === "" // will be false
> If the EVAL_BRIDGE type is used, then an empty string will be passed to the javascript callback.
> ie: if result is the parameter of the javascript success callback then
> result === null  // will be false
> result === "" // will be true
> The value of the parameter given to the success callback should not change depending on the bridge type.  Since ONLINE_EVENT was the default before cordova android 6.0.0, I am inclined to think the ONLINE bridge is doing the correct behaviour.  Also, converting null to an empty string loses information.  Therefore I think the EVAL mode should to be changed to be consistent with the ONLINE mode.
