[jira] [Created] (CB-3379) Incorrect way of trying to XHR the
cordova_plugins.json file
Ilya created CB-3379:
------------------------
Summary: Incorrect way of trying to XHR the cordova_plugins.json file
Key: CB-3379
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3379
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android
Affects Versions: 2.7.0
Reporter: Ilya
Assignee: Joe Bowser
Frankly, I don't like the way you are trying to XHR the cordova_plugins.json file asynchronously (*lines 6811-6831 in cordova-2.7.0.js*).
Why there is no check:
{code:title=cordova-2.7.0.js|borderStyle=solid}
xhr.onload = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
if (xhr.status === 200) {
....
handlePluginsObject(obj);
} else {
finishPluginLoading();
}
}
}
....
{code}
For instance, if there is no cordova_plugins.json jetty server will send a responce with the following responceText:
{code:xml}
"<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
<title>Error 404 Not Found</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>HTTP ERROR: 404</h2>
<p>Problem accessing /cordova_plugins.json. Reason:
<pre> Not Found</pre></p>
<hr /><i><small>Powered by Jetty://</small></i>
</body>
</html>"
{code}
And JSON.parse will throw "*SyntaxError: Unexpected token <*", which won't be caught - app will crash
