--------------------------------------
Summary: cordova prepare unnecessarily edits config.xml and
package.json
Key: CB-13009
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13009
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: cordova-cli
Affects Versions: 7.0.1
Environment: Mac OSX 10.12.5
Node 8.1.2
npm 5.0.3
Reporter: Christian Tschanz
Priority: Minor
I crafted my config.xml file by hand (and added comments) to make it more
readable and maintainable. I also removed all '^' or '~' from the versions of
the engines/plugins to fix the version to one specific one (I will manually
test new versions and update if possible). I also removed the '^' from the
package.json file it generates.
When running 'cordova prepare' it will completely re-create the config.xml file
and therefore re-format it. It will also re-add the '^' to all versions. It
will also add the '^' to the versions in the package.json file.
This is VERY annoying. Previous versions did not behave like this. They only
edited the config.xml if explicitly told to do so. I really, really want to fix
the versions to a specific one and don't want it to always add the '^'. I would
also prefer it if it the 'prepare' command would not re-create the config.xml
file as there is no need for that and it kills all formatting and comments.
At the moment I hope it respects the 'package-lock' file when installing
plugins because I can't have it install newer versions automatically. Sadly
many plugins are not as stable and well maintained for such an automatic update
to work well in large projects.
