Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace') about cordova-simulate

[EzioLi01]

Hey @DaanSchuitmaker , thanks for reaching us. Actually the simulate version is wrong, the latest cordova-simulate version should be 1.1.6, and it works well on my side. Are you using simulate android without any other arguments(like device?) to open the simulator? Could you please confirm it?

Hey @DaanSchuitmaker , do you have any update to this?

[DaanSchuitmaker]

On a new install (new virtual) it work so it seems to be a local issue.
Any ideas how to find the issue?

Tried to reinstall vs code, checked npm, cleared the npm cache, clear vs code extenstions.
Nothing seems to help

Maybe it caused by incorrect device id. What API command are you used? Only simulate or add some arguments for it?

im trying to run it from vscode with the Cordova Tools extensions

launch config

{ "name": "Simulate Android in browser", "type": "cordova", "request": "launch", "platform": "android", "target": "chrome", "simulatePort": 8000, "livereload": true, "sourceMaps": true, "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}" }

Oh, you're using cordova-tools extension to simulate application, but my local new cordova project is working well with the same configuration. Could you please try to install simulate with npm i -g cordova-simulate and run simulate by termimal in your project folder to open your app?

Sorry i was on vacation.

But i've found the issue.

There is a json list of devices and the default device for android is the Nexus10.
{ "id": "Nexus10", "name": "Nexus 10", "model": "Manta", "device-version-template": "<os-version>", "default-os-version": "4.2.2", "uuid": "6b356755575fce31", "manufacturer": "Samsung", "resolution": { "width": 1600, "height": 2560 }, "viewport": { "width": 800, "height": 1280 }, "pixel-ratio": 2 }

This device has an os-version of 4.2.2 but this version is not supported in the os-versions.json
{ "android": ["4.4.2", "5.0", "6.0", "7.0", "8.0", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13"], "ios": ["4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16"], "windows": ["8.1", "10"] }

this leads to an undefined in devices.js.
So it more a data issue of the devices so if this list could be checked/updated this should solve the problem.

Thanks @DaanSchuitmaker share the details, will reopen this issue and update device list. For now the latest package V1.1.6, the default android device is Nexus6 with 5.0 default os-version. You can try it or some other devices, the fixing will be release on next prod version 1.2.0. Thank you!

BTW, I have added some useful error messages for getting device process, now simulate can give you the meaningful information if it catching some exceptions.
