cordova.plugins is undefined!

[EmilAways]

I installed the plugin through the command line, and it's visible in the plugins-list when running the cmd cordova plugins but in javascript cordova.plugins is undefined and so is ofcourse cordova.plugin.backgroundMode! I tried checking the existence of cordova.plugins.backgroundMode after deviceready and manually through eval minutes after load on real device, and it's nothing there.

Hi, did you install the plugin from the git repo? because the npm version is quite outdated?
Also did you have errors in the terminal while adding the plugin?
cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-background-mode.git

[Nagasakie]

My terminal only prints:
Installing "cordova-plugin-background-mode" for browser
warn

But the plugin seems to be installed

[tobika]

@Nagasakie just to confirm, do you use this plugin for android/ios?

Maybe your terminal output is not complete but I see "for browser" there and this plugin is only used for native platforms, not in the browser. If you test your ionic/cordova app in the browser it is normal that cordova.plugins is undefined

[Nagasakie]

@tobika yes, I use this plugin for android and I have the same issue.

[tobika]

@Nagasakie could you please uninstall and reinstall the plugin and post the whole terminal output here? Otherwise it will be difficult to help.

[Nagasakie]

As you can see @tobika, the only terminal output i have without --verbose is what i wrote some comments before.

[tobika]

@Nagasakie thanks, do you use cordova 9?
This seems to be maybe the same issue someone resolved here:
#441 (comment)

[Nagasakie]

@tobika yes, i use cordova 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1).
Thanks, I tried it but it does not work.

It might be because I downgraded to 9.0.0. That worked seemed to work for me.
