Capacitor 3.x and community plugins

[daniell0gda]

It seems that community plugins are not being sync to android project using npx cap sync.
Is it each plugin responsibility to migrate or is it a bug (known?) in capacitor ?

[imhoffd]

The team will be advising the plugin authors within Capacitor community as to the changes necessary for Capacitor 3. I'm not sure why they aren't being synced, though. Could you post the output of DEBUG='*' npx cap sync android ?

[daniell0gda]

By Debug="*" you mean using debug package?

`set DEBUG=* & npx cap sync android

Yes, thanks. It looks like KeepAwake was detected. What do you mean by "not being sync to android project"? What error are you seeing?

[daniell0gda]

No errors just those from ionic-native are not detected. I've checked the same situation but in capacitor v.2.4.5 and they are detected.

Beside KeepAwake I've got: @ionic-native/autostart & @ionic-native/backlight.

@capacitor-community/electron": "^1.3.2",

"@capacitor-community/keep-awake": "^1.0.0",

"@capacitor/android": "^3.0.0-alpha.11",

"@capacitor/app": "^0.1.2",

"@capacitor/cli": "^3.0.0-alpha.11",

"@capacitor/core": "^3.0.0-alpha.9",

"@capacitor/toast": "^0.2.2",

"@ionic-native/autostart": "^5.30.0",

"@ionic-native/backlight": "^5.30.0",

"@ionic/core": "^5.5.2",

"cordova-plugin-autostart": "^2.3.0",

"cordova-plugin-backlight": "0.0.1",

[daniell0gda]

yo, anything on that topic ? :)

[imhoffd]

Are you saying they aren't working in your app?

The CLI is logging Capacitor plugins, and those are Cordova plugins.

[daniell0gda]

I can only ask you to look on my post from before..
It's @ionic-native/backlight which is using cordova plugin - yes, but because it worked in capacitor 2.x I guess it should work now, or at least, in the future.
