Good day, I am just getting back to updating some projects to the latest Cordova. I have a few item reports. I can put them in the bug tracker if needed, but wanted to get them all here just in case.
- I had previously installed cordova 2.9 via npm. It took me a few minutes to find how to update, which I found here: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/guide_cli_index.md.html#The%20Command-line%20Interface The issue is that the section is labeled "Update the App". This implies that running the npm update will update the app to the latest version. But I do not think it does. All it does is update the template files stored in .cordova. You would need to create a new project to get the updated template files, correct? - In the iOS platform guide here: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/guide_platforms_ios_index.md.html#iOS%20Platform%20Guide under the "Open a Project in the SDK" section, the code snippet is wrong - it refers to android instead of ios. - When initially doing a 'cordova create' and the first 'cordova platform add', it downloads the latest template files, but does not display any progress information. If on a slow connection, it can look like it has hung, and the user might cancel the operation, leaving the system in a broken state. - When doing a platform add iOS, we end up with two 'www' folders. One at the root of the project, and one within the platform/ios folder. In step 3 of the upgrading iOS page here http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/guide_platforms_ios_upgrading.md.html#Upgrading%20iOS it says to copy the contents of the www folder to the www folder at the root. But the Xcode project still refers to the www folder within the iOS folder, not the one at the project root. Note I also did a test adding an android platform target, and there is no obvious www folder in the platform folder, which is what I would expect. And I ran a test of changing some text within the root www/index.html, and it does reflect there properly. - Adding plugins: I know we only have to do do the plugin add once per project, but I think is tedious. This may be a plugman issue, not a cordova issue. But it seems like instead of doing: cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-console.git we could do something like 'cordova plugin setroot https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/' which saves this location somewhere, then we can simply do 'cordova plugin add console', etc. to add plugins. And this would carry across projects… That should do it for now. I am still learning the CLI, and I think there are a few things that need to be done to make it better, but it is looking great. I hope to soon have a shared www folder with my custom cross-platform Bluetooth LE plugin working as well as I think it can. Thank you, Tyler
