File Provider Not Working

Hi All.

I am trying to implement the file provider so that I can write files that I have saved on my app to my server and then save in the DB.

Doing the following to create the file works perfect:

this.fileLocation = this.file.externalCacheDirectory

const fileName = `${DateTime.local().toFormat('yyyy-LL-dd')}.log`
const tempBlob = new Blob([data + '\n \n'], { type: 'text/plain' })
return await this.file.writeFile(`${this.fileLocation}/logs`, fileName, tempBlob, {
  replace: false,
  append: true
})

However, when I try to read the files like this, no data is returned:

this.file.readAsText(`${this.fileLocation}/logs`, file.name)
    .then(res => {
      console.log('File Data: ', res)
    })
    .catch(error => {
      console.error('No file data ', error)
    })

I do not get any kind of response back what-so-ever. Neither the ‘then’ or ‘catch’ blocks are hit.

I have checked what documentation I could find and looked in the various forums but am yet to find an answer.

Any assistance that you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
