---------------------------------------
Summary: Project's plugin definitions/files when nofetch issue and
plugins all around the place. Consistency.
Key: CB-13173
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13173
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cordova-cli, cordova-plugins
Affects Versions: 7.0.1
Environment: Windows 10, C 7.0.1
Reporter: Juan Carlos ANdreu
Priority: Blocker
Hello,
Main issue here is that if I add a plugin with nofetch so it gets it from git
for example (vla clone), it works as expected initially. The plugin is not
added in the project.json dependencies, but just in cordova.plugins:[]. Good.
But then if any platform is removed and readded, the nofetch plugins are added
to project.json's dependencies and causes an issue when doing npm install, or
removing any platform.
I can see how after adding android platform, it adds the line for
"cordova-android": "^6.2.3" and then starts to install the plugins specified in
config.xml. But it goes for all plugins, even those added as nofetch.
So I have to manually remove those plugins by hand.
While doing this I notice that there are too many places where plugins are
defined. config.xml, project.json dependencies and cordova.plugins:[]
Then they go to ./plugins/fetch and ./plugins/<platform>
Code is downloaded in ./node_modules/<plugin> , ./plugins/<plugin> and
./platforms/<platform>/
I think cordova needs a bit of consistency , specially in the plugins area.
Why include all plugins everywhere and not in something like
cordova.plugins.json file? Why not have eveything in that schema, like
cordova.platforms.json, cordova.config.json etc
That way we can get stuff a bit more organized.
Thanks
