Description

I have some code that tries to list all of the files in www/json. It works correctly on iOS and Android but fails on Windows Phone 8.1.

The code is pretty straight forward:
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.applicationDirectory+'/www/json',
function(dirEntry){

var directoryReader = dirEntry.createReader();

directoryReader.readEntries(
function(entries){
ups_json_file_count = entries.length;
var i;
for (i=0; i < ups_json_file_count; i++)

{ $.getJSON("json/"+entries[i].name, parse_json_files); }

},
function()

{ console.log("Coudl Not Locate JSON Files. 2"); }

);
},
function(error)

{ console.log("Could Not Locate JSON Directory. 1"); }

);

After doing some digging I found that cordova.file is coming up as undefined. The above code is being called inside of the onDeviceReady function.

cordova-plugin-file 2.0.0 "File"
cordova-plugin-file-transfer 1.0.0 "File Transfer"
