# Bug Report ## Problem ### What is expected to happen? I'm trying to get the InAppBrowser function up and working on my Ionic App. I'm following the steps on the page 'https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser.' The only installation step it says to do is run 'cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser.' Then it begins discussing basic operations on starting the inAppBrowser. My code is ``` var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('www.google.com', '_blank') ``` I would expect this to open up the Google website in my Ionic Lab Android platform emulator. ### What does actually happen? Instead, I get the error: 'ERROR ReferenceError: cordova is not defined'. Someone else posted a similar question, and the suggested solution was to add a Script tag: ' <script src="cordova.js"></script>' to their index.html file. That didn't work for me - but I wonder why that was even suggested. I didn't install any other packages/run any other commands besides the 'cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser' stated at the top of the Github docs on the InAppBrowser page. What am I missing? ## Information <!-- Include all relevant information that might help understand and reproduce the problem --> ### Command or Code <!-- What command or code is needed to reproduce the problem? --> ``` cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser. var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('www.google.com', '_blank') ``` ### Version information ``` Ionic: Ionic CLI : 5.4.16 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic) Ionic Framework : @ionic/angular 5.0.7 @angular-devkit/build-angular : 0.803.26 @angular-devkit/schematics : 8.3.26 @angular/cli : 8.3.26 @ionic/angular-toolkit : 2.2.0 Capacitor: Capacitor CLI : 2.0.2 @capacitor/core : 2.0.2 Cordova: Cordova CLI : 9.0.0 ([email protected]) Cordova Platforms : android 8.1.0, ios 5.1.1 Cordova Plugins : cordova-plugin-device 2.0.2 "Device" cordova-plugin-inappbrowser 3.2.0 "InAppBrowser" cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.2.0 "cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard" cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 4.2.1 "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview" cordova-plugin-splashscreen 5.0.2 "Splashscreen" cordova-plugin-statusbar 2.4.2 "StatusBar" cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.3 "Whitelist" Utility: cordova-res : not installed native-run : 1.0.0 System: ios-sim : 8.0.2 NodeJS : v12.16.1 (/usr/local/bin/node) npm : 6.14.3 OS : macOS Catalina Xcode : Xcode 11.3.1 Build version 11C504 ``` ## Checklist <!-- Please check the boxes by putting an x in the [ ] like so: [x] --> - [x] I searched for existing GitHub issues - [ ] I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version - [x] I included all the necessary information above ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
