Hi Raymond, The semantics of “--copy-from” are: copy the passed path in place of the new project's “www” directory, which “cordova create” seems to obey. Is that not what happened in your case? However, the failure to copy over paths that start with “.” looks like a bug to me. Unless someone says otherwise, feel totally free file a bug in JIRA.

That is a bug for sure, right?

I had thought that if you used --copy-from and the directory you used included www itself, then the folders would be copied over to a new project and merged in with normal default items. I just tested with a folder that had 2 items: A .settings directory and a www directory. While the CLI reported no issues, it did not create a proper Cordova project. It literally just copied .settings and www, but didn't do anything else to create a proper Cordova project. So I'm guessing that the expectation is that if you do not use a folder meant to be www, then your source directory should contain everything required for a proper Cordova project. But that's not forward-proof though. Imagine if Cordova 6 changes the project structure a bit so that a Foo folder is required, then I wouldn't be able to use my source dir w/o changing it. (Which, ok, probably won't happen.) So is this expected? Is this ok with others? Should I file a ER perhaps to make --copy-from in this situation add the rest of the project assets? -- =========================================================================== Raymond Camden, Developer Advocate for MobileFirst at IBM Email : raymondcam...@gmail.com<mailto:raymondcam...@gmail.com> Blog : www.raymondcamden.com<http://www.raymondcamden.com> Twitter: raymondcamden -- =========================================================================== Raymond Camden, Developer Advocate for MobileFirst at IBM Email : raymondcam...@gmail.com<mailto:raymondcam...@gmail.com> Blog : www.raymondcamden.com<http://www.raymondcamden.com/> Twitter: raymondcamden --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org<mailto:dev-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cordova.apache.org<mailto:dev-h...@cordova.apache.org>
