Andrey Caramba commented on CB-13009:
-------------------------------------
+100500 I feel hate when I see that my files with all my comments and
formatting are changed unnecessarily and without demand
> 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
> Labels: tools-next
>
> 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.
