> No way to prevent package.json update with cordova commands even with --nosave
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-13463
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13463
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cordova-cli
> Affects Versions: [email protected]
> Reporter: Andrew Crites
> Labels: reproduced, triaged
>
> With Cordova 7, cordova commands including {{cordova platform add}} and
> {{cordova prepare}} will copy plugin information from {{config.xml}} to
> {{package.json}}.
> According to [the saving platforms
> documentation|https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/platform_plugin_versioning_ref/],
> using {{--nosave}} should prevent updating {{package.json}} or
> {{config.xml}}, but this does not work (i.e. using {{--nosave}} still seems
> to update the {{package.json}}.
> I want to avoid updating {{package.json}} specifically because there doesn't
> seem to be a way to avoid hard coding variables for plugins. An example is
> the cordova fabric plugin:
> {code}
> <plugin name="cordova-fabric-plugin" spec="^1.1.9">
> <variable name="FABRIC_API_KEY" value="a" />
> <variable name="FABRIC_API_SECRET" value="b" />
> </plugin>
> {code}
> Cordova doesn't seem to provide a way for you to parameterize variables in
> the configuration. To get around this, I have {{build.config.xml}} where they
> are parameterized, and {{config.xml}} is created at install-time and not
> version controlled. However, this would be much more difficult to do with
> {{package.json}} and is practically not an option.
> When running {{cordova platform add ios --nosave}} with the above plugin,
> cordova still updates {{package.json}} to include the fabric plugin with the
> hard coded variables.
> * Cordova 6 question (with solution):
> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37816035/using-environment-variables-parameterizing-config-xml
> * Cordova 7 question (no solution yet)
> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46816928/parameterize-do-not-hard-code-variables-when-building-with-cordova-7
> Ideally {{--nosave}} would not update {{package.json}} as advertised. Even
> better, there should be a way to set up a cordova project so that any cordova
> commands do not save by default. This would prevent mistakes in a larger team
> and allow use of tools that wrap cordova such as ionic.
