-------------------------------
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?
