feat: I migrated the cordova version, and index.html will be lost after hot update. But when the app is opened again, index.html returns to normal.

[waliu]

Feature Request

Description

After many updates, occasionally when entering the plug-in, a prompt will appear that the version is built-in. Index.html will be lost. I guess the reason is that I didn't set setServerBasePath and setServerAssetPath, but cordova I don't know how to set

Open the APP again, and index.html magically appears again.

Platform(s)

cordova 13.0.0
Android

Preferred Solution

Can you help me deal with this error?
How can I contact you？

How to set up Cordoba Set server base path

[riderx]

Wait you mean you back ported the code in cordova ?
I think it will be way easier for you to migrate to capacitor, we tried to make the plugin for cordova but that hard things do not work the same in cordova :/

[waliu]

Yes, our project cannot be quickly migrated to Capacitor because it has heavy historical baggage. So a cordova plugin is needed. I know capacitor development plugin is much simpler.

[waliu]

At present, we can only complete the cordova plug-in first, and then do the capacitor migration when time is enough.

[waliu]

In fact, hot updates have been implemented。Currently, index.html is missing in the builtin version. So I would like your help.

[WcaleNieWolny]

Let me confirm, you have been able to hot-reload but after you reopen the app the update doesn't persist?

What platform (IOS/Android) do you use?

[WcaleNieWolny]

Oh, I see the issue. Let me look for an IMPL

[WcaleNieWolny]

I would likely try to use this method

Although, the cordova-plugin-code-push is deprecated I would still give it a try. Other than this plugin I don't know where you could look for some code

[waliu]

@WcaleNieWolny
It was because cordova-plugin-code-push was no longer maintained that I migrated from the capacitive updater to cordova. Although capacitors are now recommended, I had to get cordova running. I have solved the Cordoba Fever related issues.

[waliu]

@WcaleNieWolny
The plug-in is made according to capacitor-updater.

[WcaleNieWolny]

Would you mind sharing your solution for using capacitor updater with Cordova? How did you end up resolving the issue?

[waliu]

I will consider sharing it later

[waliu]

Currently I have only migrated the Android version

[WcaleNieWolny]

That is okay, your knowledge on this issue is still really useful.

[waliu]

Excuse me, after the capacitor-updater is hot updated, can it be restarted and loaded with index.html?

[WcaleNieWolny]

Yes, I recommend copying the IOS initialLoad logic into android

[riderx]

@waliu let's create a repo and @WcaleNieWolny can help you make it happen

[riderx]

@waliu where are you with this ? did you made it work?
