Description

Regression testing Android 5.1 on mobile-spec.
WebSQL test fails immediately when trying to create a table.

Gets exception at line with the scrollByLines() method

var databaseOutput = function(s) {
var el = document.getElementById("database_results");
el.innerHTML = el.innerHTML + s + "<br>";
el.scrollByLines(20000);
};

To Fix: Just remove that line. scollByLines() doesn't affect the webSQL test so can be removed.

My guess for why it breaks in Android 5.1 is that it is deprecated, though just speculating after looking around for answers.

Some sources regarding the fix:

• https://crosswalk-project.org/jira/browse/XWALK-2502

The earliest version of cordova this line is present in is 3.2.0 and goes all the way through Master. And somewhere along the way, index.html starts to reference index.js where this line was moved to.
