--------------------------------
Summary: Dependencies in the root project directory can conflict
with those in plugins
Key: CB-12474
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12474
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CLI
Affects Versions: 6.5.0
Environment: OSX: 10.12.3
node: v7.4.0
npm: 4.2.0
Cordova-ios: 4.3.1
Cordova-android: 6.1.2
Reporter: Brian Jesse
I've created a project with several npm dependencies and several Cordova
plugins. One of my dependencies, Braintree, and one of my Cordova plugins,
Branch.io, both depend on the same package, xml2js. Braintree's version is
significantly out of date while Branch.io's version is much more recent. There
were breaking changes introduced between these package versions.
When running the "cordova build ios android" command a hook script is called
inside of the Branch.io plugin. This plugin hook script ends up loading the
version of npm2js that is required by Braintree.
I am not completely familiar with how dependency management is handled inside
of a plugin currently, but if I were to guess, it seems like plugin dependency
installation does not respect the dependency structure at the project level,
but the execution environment seems to be at the project level never-the-less.
My project structure is as follows:
project/
- config.xml
- www/
- platforms/
- plugins/
- package.json
- node_modules
Here is a link to a minimal environment to reproduce this issue:
https://gist.github.com/BrainBacon/2c3b629507576a5f4d849a3a2d64b66f
simply run "npm test" in a new directory with both of the included files and an
error will occur.
