Angela Fowler reopened CB-3605:
-------------------------------
Would be great if the README could be updated to mention the two different ways
of creating a project and say that npm is only needed for the cli tools. At the
moment it looks like it is needed for the create.js which is confusing for a
new Cordova developer.
> package.json bin scripts
> -------------------------
>
> Key: CB-3605
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3605
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 2.7.0
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: Angela Fowler
> Assignee: Filip Maj
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.0
>
>
> The "Cordova Android Developer Tools" section talks about installing the
> dependencies however the package.json does not contain any dependencies. It
> contains a "bin" which maps command names to local file names.
> "bin":
> { "create": "./create", "bench": "./bench", "autotest": "./autotest", "BOOM":
> "./BOOM", "test": "./test" }
> 1. The only command in the bin directory is create (and also update which is
> not in package.json bin).
> The autotest and test exist in the cordova-cli project but only for ios.
> I could not find bench or BOOM.
> 2. The create script is a bash script. There is also a create.js and
> create.bat for Windows which does not appear to require npm.
> Is there any use for npm on Windows in cordova-android?
> 3. Is this how npm looks when correctly installed for cordova-android? Could
> it have failed somehow because the repository is pointing to incubator?
> c:\development\cordova-2.7.0\cordova-android\bin>npm list npm WARN
> package.json [email protected] No README.md file found!
> [email protected] c:\development\cordova-2.7.0\cordova-android\bin
> └── (empty)
> Note : npm runs successfully in cordova-js which has several dependencies
> installed and listed.
