------------------------------------
Summary: Cordova-Android fails to properly add the source of a
custom plugin if its source-file.source points to a directory and plugin is
being installed in --link mode
Key: CB-11683
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11683
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android
Affects Versions: 3.5.0
Environment: Windows 10
Reporter: Szymon Drosdzol
Priority: Minor
I have cerated a custom plugin. In my plugin.xml I've added java sources
directory with the following XML tag:
{{<source-file src="src/com/thisisdir/" target-dir="src/com/" />}}
Next I tried to install that plugin using the following command:
{{cordova plugin add ..\AuthenticatorPlugin --link}}
Unfortunatetly that only creates a useless 0-byte file in the destination
folder instead of proper link.
This resembles behaviour of Windows' mklink command, which does exactly this
when trying to create the link to the directory without the /D parameter. This
is clearly bad design. The command failed to do its job but exited normally
instead of presenting any error message. Cordova shoudln't replicate that
behaviour and handle folder linking on its own. Therefore we should either:
* fail the task on attempts to link a directory,
* handle directory linking properly.
I think the second option is way better :)
