Alex Buijs created CB-11873: ------------------------------- Summary: No plugins installed when running a prepare before a build in a gulp task. Key: CB-11873 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11873 Project: Apache Cordova Issue Type: Bug Components: CordovaLib Affects Versions: 6.3.1 Reporter: Alex Buijs
I use a gulp task for building, so I work directly with {code}var cordova = require('cordova-lib').cordova.build({}, cb);{code} Because of [a check|https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/6.3.x/cordova-lib/src/cordova/util.js#L279] in cordova-lib/src/cordova/util.js, platforms need to be added before the project can be build, otherwise the error "No platforms added to this project..." is thrown. Since I always remove the contents of the platforms and plugins directories before building (I target multiple apps from the same codebase), I need to prepare the project before I can build, because of this check. This leads to a bug similar to CB-11519 and CB-11589, where plugins are never correctly installed. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the exact reason why platforms/ios/ios.json is missing the plugins when running a prepare immediately followed by a build. When the tasks are performed manually one after the other, everything works fine. I am waiting for the callback of prepare to be called, before the build task is started, but perhaps the prepare callback is called too early? Since the build function in cordova-lib/src/cordova/build.js already prepares the project (after calling preProcessOptions in util.js), it seems redundant to be forced to prepare the project before building. When the check I mentioned is not performed, a build with empty platforms and plugins directories works just fine: it saves one superfluous prepare task and, more importantly, plugins are correctly installed. My proposal: perhaps this check could be omitted when preProcessOptions is called from the build task? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
