Jacob Weber created CB-13719:
--------------------------------
Summary: When "cordova prepare" creates package.json, it doesn't
include all node modules
Key: CB-13719
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13719
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cordova-cli
Environment: Mac OS 10.13.2, cordova-cli 8.0.0.
Reporter: Jacob Weber
Attachments: CordovaTest2.zip
If you don't include a package.json in your project, my understanding (from
[here|https://cordova.apache.org/news/2017/05/04/cordova-7.html]) was that
running "cordova prepare" should create it, based on your config.xml.
This normally works fine. But if I include a plugin with a local path in
config.xml, e.g.
{code}
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-test" spec="custom_plugins/cordova-plugin-test" />
{code}
and then run "cordova prepare" using cordova-cli 8.0.0, it will no longer
download all the necessary files to node_modules. It only puts the platform and
plugins that I specified in config.xml there, not any of their dependencies.
And the package.json that it generates doesn't include the local plugin. As a
result, it can cause
[errors|https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-custom-config/issues/138] with other
plugins later on.
This wasn't the case with cordova-cli 7.x. Is it now a requirement that we
include a package.json as well as a config.xml? This seems to mean that we need
to maintain a duplicate list of plugin versions.
For an example, run "cordova prepare" on the attached project, using
cordova-cli 8.0.0.
