---------------------------------
Summary: Allow XML tags to make arbitrary edits to other XML files
after prepare in config.xml
Key: CB-10832
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10832
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CLI
Environment: All
Reporter: Paul Hickman
MSBuild has a facility to update the value of an XML tag in any XML file during
the build process through an XMLUpdate task, which is configured by any
xmlupdate element such as:
<XmlUpdate Prefix="n"
Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";
XPath="/n:Project/n:PropertyGroup/n:TestUpdate"
XmlFileName="Subversion.proj"
Value="Test from $(MSBuildProjectFile)"/>
It also has an optional delete attribute to specify the element/attribute is
deleted, but the MSBuild implementation lacks an Add attribute which should be
present for a complete implementation.
I propose adding the same function to Cordova's prepare function. <xmlupdate>
tags could be placed directly in the root node of the configuration, or more
likely in a <platform> section.
This would allow configuration of all items in the various platform's manifest
files to be created/updated/deleted for the cases where there is not
specialized code in "cordova prepare" to populate them.
Source code for the MSBuild implementation is here:
