Filip Maj updated CB-3216:
--------------------------
Affects Version/s: 2.8.0
2.7.0
Summary: cordova-cli project upgrade path (was: cordova-cli
project upgrade guide)
Possible, yes.
There has been some informal discussion with Cordova committers about the
potential of using a grunt.js-style approach, where the global script is "dumb"
and calls into a local copy of the script inside a project, which may be of any
version of that project.
While I agree this is an important feature, in my personal opinion there are
many more pressing issues that need fixing with the cli tools before tackling
this problem (just take a look at this JIRA instance and look at how many
issues are set with the CLI component). In the meantime, a manual upgrade
process could be scripted that could look like:
{code}
$ npm install -g [email protected]
$ cordova create upgraded_project
$ cp -r original_project/www/* upgraded_project/www/.
$ cd upgraded_project
$ cordova platform add android ios blackberry
$ for dir in `find ../original_project/plugins -type d -maxdepth 1`
> do
> cordova add plugin $dir
> done
{code}
In the meantime I've reopened the issue so that some day we may try to solve
it. I encourage you to begin discussion on how to handle this problem on the
cordova mailing list if you would like for it to be solved sooner.

> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CLI
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0, 2.7.0, 2.8.0
> Environment: OSX
> Reporter: Philippe Lang
> Assignee: Filip Maj
> Labels: cordova-cli, platform, update

> Hi,
> I wanted to upgrade an cordova-cli 2.5 generated project tree (with ios and
> android platforms) to the latest cordova-cli 2.6 version.
> I somehow managed to do this by reading
> http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.6.0/guide_upgrading_index.md.html#Upgrading%20Guides
> after upgrading my npm cordova package ("npm -g update cordova"), but file
> paths and a few details are not 100% identical, and I end up being not sure I
> did everything correctly. (Although both patforms compile correctly)
> Is there some kind of upgrade guide somewhere, that explains this task? In my
> case, it's hard do delete both platforms and recreate them, since boths
> contain native plugins. But if it's the way to go, it is not such a big deal
> eiter...
> A "cordova platform update ios" or "cordova platform update android" would be
> great. Any chance we can have that one day?
> Best regards,
> Philippe
