brodybits commented on issue #162: [CB-14156 WIP] Remove browserify - WIP NOT
TESTED
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/pull/162#issuecomment-399216641
I just raised [CB-14156](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14156) to
report the problems with `browserify` in general, marking this as the easiest
alternative solution.
> Why?
Problems now listed in CB-14156, biggest concern is with duplicated code.
> Do you know the reason why this was there and what it was used for in the
first place?
Using `grunt` and `browserify` was more popular 3-4 years ago. Considering
it doesn't work for me I suspect the `browserify` target has not been used for
quite a while.

> cordova-js browserify issues
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: CB-14156
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14156
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cordova-js
> Reporter: Chris Brody
> Assignee: Chris Brody
> Priority: Major
>
> I spotted the following issues with the way {{cordova-js}} uses
> {{browserify}}:
> * 1: duplicate source files in {{src}}: {{src/cordova_b.js}},
> {{src/common/modulemapper_b.js}},
> {{src/common/pluginloader_b.js}}, {{src/common/init_b.js}}, which only seem
> to be used by {{tasks/lib/bundle-browserify.js}}
> * 2: I have not been able to make a working {{browserify}} build.
> * 3: {{npm outdated}} shows {{browserify}} as outdated
> Another possible issue that I am not 100% sure about:
> * 4: {{browserify}} is listed as a {{dependencies}} item in {{package.json}}
> while I think it should have been listed as a {{devDependencies}} item
> I am very concerned that keeping duplicated source files may lead to old bugs
> including possible security issues leaking through the maintenance process in
> the future. The changes between the duplicated source files and the
> non-browserify versions are very limited so it should be possible to resolve
> this issue using very basic code techniques.
> I think the easiest solution would be to drop the browserify build/test
> target and remove the duplicated source files. I suspect that the browserify
> target has not been used for years.
