Marcel Kinard commented on CB-2234:
-----------------------------------
Calling it "info" would also make sense.
Yes, a project-level command would make sense. I don't see users doing much
outside of a project.
My employer calls this info "must gather", meaning it must be gathered by the
user and is required by the support team to start diagnosing the issue.
What specific pieces of data would be helpful? And would there be differences
in that list between platforms?
> add "about" command to CLI

> Key: CB-2234
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2234
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Marcel Kinard
> Assignee: Marcel Kinard
> Priority: Minor
>
> When users post a question about "function x in Cordova isn't working", there
> is a default set of info that would be helpful to have, such as the Cordova
> version, OS version, perhaps the config.xml, and so forth. So how about if
> there is a "cordova about" command added to the CLI that can programmatically
> gather that information up, stuff it into a file, and leave the file on the
> user's system. Then we can ask the users to "run the 'cordova about' command
> and attach your about.txt file to the Jira issue". The intention is to make
> it easy and consistent to get information about the user's environment to
> help us debug issues. The information should be totally transparent, so the
> user can see what data they are sending.
