Summary: Support setting custom npm binary for cordova-fetch (was:
"cordova plugin add" removes other plugins installed from Github )
> Support setting custom npm binary for cordova-fetch
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-14102
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14102
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: cordova-fetch
> Affects Versions: 8.0.0
> Reporter: Ken Naito
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 8.0.0
>
>
> The cordova platform/plugin add commands use cordova-fetch to get the
> relevant files. It does this by using npm.
> However, [email protected] has an issue when installing modules from Github.
> npm modules installed from a Github URL will be removed after installing
> other npm modules.
> The issue is on npm’s Github: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17379
> For example, using node v9.5.0, npm v5.6.0 and cordova 8.0, run
> $ cordova plugin add https://github.com/knight9999/HelloWorldPlugin.git
> This adds helloworldplugin into the node_modules directory, as shown below:
> $ ls node_modules/
> fs-extra helloworldplugin jsonfile universalify
> graceful-fs install npm
> If we add further plugins like so:
> $ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera
> The previous modules in node_modules directory disappear.
> $ ls node_modules/
> cordova-plugin-camera
> This is fixed in [email protected], as mentioned in the issue link above.
> It is possible that the user cannot update their global npm version due to
> some other dependencies. I suggest that we add a way for the user to override
> the npm executable which is used by Cordova. For example, we could add an
> environment variable as below, which would be used instead of the global npm:
> CORDOVA_NPM=/home/user/bin/npm
