Kapsel - Can't find variable: sap

[Former Member]

I'm trying to create a Kapsel application for iOS and I'm running into some issues.  I am getting the error "Can't find variable: sap" whenever I make a call to any of the plugins.  I have confirmed that all of the plugins have been added and I've also include a reference to cordova.js in my index.html file.  Can you think of anything else I may be doing wrong?  I've tried calling the Kapsel functionality from the index.html file directly and from a separate JS file.

Could you give information on the steps you followed.

Hope you are trying to develop cordova app for ios on mac machine (mac is need for cordova based ios apps).  Make sure you added the kapsel plugins to your project using cordova command successfully as mentioned in this blog

I am developing everything on a Mac.  I've determined that the issue isn't specific to the Kapsel plugins.  It also occurs when I try to use the built in Device plugin for Cordova.  I'm researching it more now but it appears to be a Cordova issue and not a Kapsel issue.  I will post the solution here once I find it.

By the way, I am using Cordova 3.4.0-0.1.3 and SMP SDK 3.0 SP03.

I was able to figure out the issue.  I was trying to use the Kapsel plugins in the jQuery $(document).ready function.  Based on what I've seen online, you should not try to use plugins until the deviceready event has fired.  I moved my code to the device ready event.  Here's some more information on that event:

http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.5.0/cordova_events_events.md.html

Once I put my code in the device ready event, I had an issue where the event was not firing on iOS.  This appeared to be a bug with the version of Cordova that was recommended in the "Getting Started with Kapsel Part 1" document for SP03.  I upgraded to the latest version of Cordova and the issue was resolved.

Nothing to do with version, just try to deploy it on simulator first and no such error. Especially after you have re-built the application.

I faced similar problem sometime back and after following all the steps mentioned here i was able to resolve it.

If you still face the same, please share a screenshot of that error.

I had installed a newer version of Cordova so I uninstalled it and installed the correct version.  I am still having the same issue though.  I have inserted a screenshot of the error below.  It seems like the SAP Javascript references are just not being added correctly.  Do those get added automatically through the cordova.js file? 

Here is the line of code on line 93:

sap.Logon.init(logonSuccessCallback, logonErrorCallback, appId);

Can you tell about SMP Mobile SDK version along with cordova version you have installed?

e.g. SMP Mobile SDK 3.0 SP04

you can find cordova version by running

cordova -v command
