Steve Gill commented on CB-13252:
---------------------------------
It is happening because we run `npm install cordova-plugin-device` from within
the node_modules directory in cordova-fetch. In npm@5+, if you run npm install
in the node_modules directory and that module already exists, it creates a
broken symlink. Running it in the root of the project won't cause this issue.
So I switched cordova-fetch to that. Definitely a npm bug IMO. Didn't exist
before npm@5
Solved this bug with this PR. https://github.com/apache/cordova-fetch/pull/5
> Nightly causing npm symbolic link loop issues
