[Solved] Cordova: Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined

[mesqueeb]

Hey guys I get this error on doing cordova run ios -d.

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **
No scripts found for hook “before_deploy”.
Error: Cannot read property ‘replace’ of undefined

I already checked cordova requirements it’s all in place.
Any ideas?
Also cordova build ios worked with no problems.

Hi,

You’ve specified a hook in your cordova/config.xml which does not exists. Check for hook documentation.

Hey @rstoenescu
Thanks for getting back to me!
I never set or changed anything to the Cordova files, so it’s a bug that exists upon install after following the docs here.

I’ll look into it now and come back if I find a bug fix for this!

This is the standard cordova/config.xml that was installed to my directory:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="io.cordova.hellocordova" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
    <name>HelloCordova</name>

I wasn’t able to find anything…
When I run cordova run ios -d it first gets built and I get a lot of those “no scripts found for …” but none of them through errors. Then after the build and before the deployment, that’s where it errors it seems…
This is what I get just after running:

No scripts found for hook “before_run”.
No scripts found for hook “before_prepare”.
Checking config.xml and package.json for saved platforms that haven’t been added to the project
Config.xml and package.json platforms are the same. No pkg.json modification.

Even with this above, the build succeeds. But right after it fails, probably inside the deploy section.

I’m tracking it down.
Currently I know that the error occurs on this line:
return Q.resolve(iossim.getdevicetypes());
in the file:
/cordova/platforms/ios/cordova/lib/list-emulator-images

I was able to solve the issue after following the answer here:
https://github.com/phonegap/ios-sim/issues/210

Please beware not to edit the ios-sim source files of the wrong node_modules folder!!!
The correct folder to edit the ios-sim source files is the one located at /cordova/platforms/ios/cordova/node_modules/ios-sim/src/lib.js.
