executeScript does not fire - issue ionic 3 about cordova-plugin-inappbrowser

[TwashRocketLoans]

pretty sure his browser variable comes from the Ionic docs:

import { InAppBrowser } from '@ionic-native/in-app-browser';

constructor(private iab: InAppBrowser) { }


...


const browser = this.iab.create('https://ionicframework.com/');

browser.executeScript(...);

browser.insertCSS(...);
browser.on('loadstop').subscribe(event => {
   browser.insertCSS({ code: "body{color: red;" });
});

browser.close();

browser is not an object being provided by this plugin. Where does this come from?
Did you ask on the Ionic Forum, Slack or any other support channel?

The issue for me is directly related to #303. The amount of data I returned is too much and is truncated by Chrome. This invalidates the JSON string and the event is never fired.

Hope this helps someone that was struggling with this problem.

This is a real issue.

The InAppBrowser executeScript used to work fine. After compiling my app again the "callback" or "promise" is not executed.

Here is my code that used to work:

const ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(someURL, '_blank', 'location=yes');

ref.addEevntListener('loadstop', () => {
  ref.executeScript({ code: 'someFunctionWithReturnValue();', (data) => {
    if (data[0] != null) {
      alert(JSON.parse(data[0]);
    }
  }
});

Here is a suggestion that it must be used as a promise but it also does not work:
ref.executeScript({code: 'someFunctionWithReturnValue();'}).then((data) => { alert(JSON.parse(data[0])); }).catch((e) => { alert(e); });

I really don't have an answer to this one. Already spend too much time on this issue. As I said, it used to work fine with the callback function but not anymore.

Closing as duplicate of #303 as it has more information
