Jan Piotrowski commented on CB-12977: ------------------------------------- Does using the `--nofetch` option to install these plugins help? https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/dev/reference/cordova-cli/index.html#cordova-plugin-command (Strangely this is only documented in the `dev` version of the docs, I created an issue about that: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12978) > Cordova 7 breaks npm install if any declared plugin doesn't contain > package.json > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CB-12977 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12977 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: cordova-cli, cordova-plugins > Affects Versions: cordova@7.0.0 > Environment: OSX 10.12.15, npm 3.10.10, Cordova 7.0.1 > Reporter: Spence DiNicolantonio > > As of Cordova 7, plugins declared in config.xml are automatically added to > dependencies in _package.json_ on prepare. This limits Cordova 7 projects to > plugins that are also node packages, as the {{npm install}} process will > break if any declared dependency does not contain a valid _package.json_ > ([see related npm error|https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7232]). > Quite a few functioning Cordova plugins (e.g. > [CordovaClipboard|https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard], > [PrivacyScreen|https://github.com/Telerik-Verified-Plugins/PrivacyScreen]) > live on GitHub and don't contain a _package.json_. In order to use such > plugins in conjunction with Cordova 7 without breaking {{npm install}}, we > must omit the plugin declarations from config.xml and commit the contents of > the _/plugins_ directory. > To be clear, this is not a malfunction of the Cordova CLI. Rather, this is a > side-effect of the automated mirroring of _config.xml_ and _package.json_ > configuration in Cordova 7. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
