Braden Shepherdson commented on CB-3393:
----------------------------------------
Ugh, this is nasty.
It isn't safe to use an absolute path, because it's possible to serve an app
from an arbitrary http:// URL, and the app need not be served from the root of
the host.
Since the cordova_plugins.json is at the root of the Cordova project always, no
matter where cordova.js lives on that platform, it would be possible to tweak
the loading code in cordova.js to search for cordova_plugins.json,
../cordova_plugins.json, ../../cordova_plugins.json, etc., up maybe three or
four levels.
This sucks, but it would solve the problem in the case of putting cordova.js
into a subfolder, or having sub-apps like in mobile-spec.

> Key: CB-3393

> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CordovaJS, Plugman
> Reporter: Steve Gill
> Assignee: Filip Maj
>
> Blackberry dudes added a commit to plugin_loader.js that made the path to
> cordova_plugins.js absolute. This broke plugin loading for ios + android. See
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/commit/8d59461c6f796f2c88a0eae2467cc663897ccce9
> I reverted that commit with
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/commit/757fa3c93d078fc9d1e393e671f81c6ed237bc06
> It works again on Android and iOS. Issue that arises now is that cordova.js
> expects cordova_plugins.json to be in the same directory as it. If you have
> cordova.js in a js directory and cordova_plugins.json exists in a directory
> above, the plugin will not load because it won't be able to find
> cordova_plugins.
> Can we reference cordova_plugins in a way that will work across platform?
