Hi,
when i want start my vue-nativescript aplication i get error Cannot read property \'getApplicationContext\' of undefined'

i use this version native script: "@nativescript/core": "^7.0.3",
and this nativescript-barcodescanner - "nativescript-barcodescanner": "^4.0.1",

there is my code: https://codesandbox.io/s/nativescript-vue-web-template-forked-iyjci

every logic is available in main.js, and in components > App.vue

I used Android 7 +

That's usually a symptom of invoking the plugin too early. Can you wait until after the app has fully started?

[jakubstankowski]

thanks for response!

i add this two solution for delay starting functionality, first i add a showButton flag to showing button, second in scanQrCode function i used setTimeout, unfortunetely this is not helping, i still get the same error

<Button v-if="showButton" class="btn btn-outline" text="Scan QR code" @tap="scanQrCode"/>

mounted() { this.showButton = true; },

scanQrCode() { setTimeout(() => { var barcodescanner = new BarcodeScanner(); barcodescanner.scan({ //basic options } ); }, 3000) },

this code is available here

@EddyVerbruggen do you have some solution for this ?

Hi,
I have the same issue. I did not try yet but I think that the problem is due to the new version : 4.0.1

Try downgrading to version 3.4.2

EDIT :

I have tried downgrading and it worked for me !

[jakubstankowski]

@MarioCat which version of nativescript you have ? Because i have 7.0.9 and now i get this error: 'No scan: TypeError: Cannot read property \'client\' of undefined'

[MarioCat]

@jakubstankowski I also have 7.0.9

Same Error with below environments:

1. Error: Cannot read property 'getApplicationContext' of undefined
   @nativescript/core: 7.0.11
   nativescript-barcodescanner: 4.0.1

2. Error: Cannot read property 'client' of undefined
   @nativescript/core: 7.0.11
   nativescript-barcodescanner: 3.4.2

Solved by building and deploy with Apk

The error only happen on Preview. After build and install the apk (android) on mobile and works fine
