-------------------------------
Summary: Cordova hits internet unnecessarily when getting cached
platform or plugin
Key: CB-11985
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11985
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CordovaLib
Affects Versions: 6.3.1
Reporter: Tim Barham
Assignee: Tim Barham
In you are disconnected from the internet and try to add a platform or plugin
that has previously been cached, Cordova eventually successfully installs the
platform/plugin, but only after a very long wait.
We could check for the existence of the cached platform/plugin before calling
{{npm cache add}}. This would mean an instant return when not connected to the
internet.
Note that this will only help if we are adding a specific version - when a
version range is specified, we need to hit the internet anyway to find the
matching version.
Background: First time build failures in Cordova tools in Visual Studio are
primarily due to {{npm}} failures. Therefore we are working to avoid any
requirement for {{npm}}} to hit the internet in simple build scenarios. This
includes pre-installing cached versions of certain platforms and plugins. But
we only get the full benefit if Cordova uses these cached versions if it finds
them, without calling {{npm cache add}}.
