----------------------------------
Summary: [windows8] Add test that correct msbuild version is in
the path
Key: CB-6039
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6039
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CLI, Windows 8
Reporter: Sergey Grebnov
Assignee: Sergey Grebnov
1. Test for msbuild is in the path was removed as part of CB-5359 fix.
Due to this in case of msbuild command is NOT in the path 'cordova build
windows8' reports success, but no build artifacts are produced. Must be fixed.
2. We don't officially support windows8.1 project template, but it is possible
to upgrade your project file
(.cordova\lib\windows8\cordova\3.x.x\windows8\template) so that cordova
produces windows81 application instead of windows8. In this case msbuild tools
v12 (comes with Visual Studio 2013) must be used instead of v4.0 (see below).
So build command must recognize if msbuild version in the path does not match
target template and report this to user.
New Visual Studio 2013 comes with new MS Build tools v12.
> msbuild /ver
Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 12.0.21005.1
[Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.0.30319.34003]

12.0.21005.1
But windows8\bin\check_reqs.js fails since it expects the following output
>msbuild /ver
Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 4.0.30319.33440
[Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.0.30319.34003]
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
If I remove this check for particular msbuild version cordova-cli can
successfully create windows8 template and then build it using MSBuild v12.
