reverted cordova version -- now build fails on HelloCordova
Following the docs, I did:
> npm install -g cordova@3.0.3
It seemed to work: cordova -v gives 3.0.3
I crreated a simple HelloCordova app:
> cordova create HelloCordova com.notacompany.test HelloCordova
> cd HelloCordova
> codova platform add android
> cd platforms\android (Windows build)
> cordova build android --debug
I get immediate error:
>>> [TypeError: Cannot read property 'parser' of undefined]
There is probably a simple reason, but I could use some help finding it.

Thanks to all who responded -- Josh, Braden, and Andrew. Just knowing about
node-inspector and to look at the node-cache will surely help me going
forward.
As it turns out, I think there is a bug in the 3.0.3 CLI. The immediate
source of the error is in node_modules/cordova/src/prepare.js -- the
platform list passed in includes options, so when the line
platforms[p].parser(...) is executed on line 68 with p==--debug,...
I'm sure this is fixed in later versions, and I'm not going to risk breaking
something else trying to fix it properly myself, so my work-around is to
only invoke 'cordova build android' without options, and then hand edit
PROJECT_ROOT/platforms/android/cordova/build.bat, appending the build type
option to the command there. It's a little ugly, but not inconvenient.
I sincerely appreciate the help. Yesterday was a bad day -- I was hit by at
least three other "nasty surprise" issues. By evening, I was very tired.

On Windows, that should be %USERPROFILE%\.cordova\lib
In general, installing node-inspector is the right starting point:
npm install node-inspector
node node_modules\node-inspector\bin\inspector.js
Then in another window, node --debug-brk cordova-cli\bin\cordova
And then use Chrome to load the url that inspector.js references.

Unfortunately there are no such documents. I think the best references for
how the CLI works overall are my brain, and Anis' brain. Someday we should
write down an overview.
At a glance, it sounds like your bug might be caused by having a newer
cordova-android cached than 3.0.3 is expecting, causing the build and run
scripts to fail. Try deleting $HOME/.cordova/lib, and recreating the test
project.
It's also possible that the Android cordova/build script was simply broken
in 3.0.3; I can't remember for certain that far back.

Unfortunately, I wanted to revert to 3.0.3 because the latest was causing me
some other issues. I know I'll have to deal with them later, but for now I
just need to be productive.
Cordova 3.0.3 was working fine for me yesterday morning. But after
installing the latest and reverting, it is broken. I can do bug hunting
myself, but I'm new to node.js, and I don't know the design of the CLI as
well as you. Are there any spec docs I can work from that will help me
understand what is going on?

Probably you hit a bug in 3.0.3. Try updating to the latest version of the
tool and see if the bug is fixed.
