> Thanks google-- I'm here. > So I have been dealing with for half a day. Upgraded Cordova from 8 to 9.0. I have to manually add I think I'm up to 20 or more modules now. > Both adding and removing needed different modules and now building android is complaining. > > Failed to instantiate ProjectBuilder builder: Error: Cannot find module 'dot-prop' > Cannot find module 'shebang-regex' > Cannot find module 'minimatch' > Cannot find module 'abbrev' You shouldn't need to manually add any dependencies, but it is possible that you're using an out-dated/unsupported version of `cordova-android` The latest CLI is version 10, and the latest cordova-android version is 9.1.0. I'd try first upgrading to the latest CLI and then re-adding the cordova-android platform. If `cordova platform remove android` doesn't work for whatever reason, you can do the following: ``` rm -r plugins rm -r platforms rm -r node_modules rm package-lock.json npm install cordova platform add android@latest ``` It's also recommended to use the latest available release of whatever major of Node you're using. Refer to the table below: | NodeJS Major | Latest Version | |-------------------------|-------------------------| | 10.x | 10.24.1 | | 12.x | 12.22.1 | | 14.x | 14.16.1 | Odd major versions of Node (e.g: 11.x, 13.x, 15.x) is not supported. They may or may not work. There doesn't appear to be an actual issue here related to `cordova-cli` other than aforementioned issue with detecting what is a valid cordova project in general to provide better error feedback. There is a ticket for this discussion https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/155 therefore I'll be closing this issue. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
