[jira] [Commented] (CB-13507) git+https or git+ssh fails when trying to install

["Warren Crossing (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13507?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16342997#comment-16342997 ] 

Warren Crossing commented on CB-13507:
--------------------------------------

From what I read in the code the problem can be explained like this.

Cordova can't lookup the module name, because it couldn't work out where npm installed the package, even after it checked the repository/url of the package.json in each and every child of the node-modules directory for the exact url that you supplied in the pluginspec on the cmdline.

 

Your options are to either use a url spec that matches the regexp in is-url/index.js i.e https|http, and have that as the repository/url in the package.json which can be difficult with forks - especially if you don't control the forks.

Or let git clone the git repo, then double up and get cordova to install the plugin from the local filesystem.

i.e.

git clone https://github.com/warrenc5/Mapbox.git

cordova plugin add -d ./Mapbox –noregistry

 

The problem with this is that it makes the build highly non portable in some ways, maybe fetch needs to take a hint on the command line of the module name, or this may be a change to pluginspec, but it took me ages to work out what was actually failing.

 

Hope this helps others.

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: AllPlatforms
>    Affects Versions: 7.0.2
>         Environment: I am selecting 7.0.2 since it's the closest but I am running cordova 7.1.0
> OS: Mac OS X Sierra.
> Although I don't think it has anything to do with cordova-ios and cordova-android, my platform versions are: 
> - android 6.3.0
> - ios 4.5.2
>            Reporter: Pablo Caselas
>            Priority: Major
>             Fix For: 7.0.2
>
>
> I start with adding plugin dependencies with https://...... on package.json (no plugin references on config.xml) and no platforms or plugins installed then I run "cordova platform ios".
> It installs the plugins without any problem, but changes config.xml and package.json plugin references from https to git+https, and ssh to git+ssh.
> Failed to restore plugin "cordova-plugin-document-viewer" from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin git+https://github.com/kas84/cordova-plugin-document-viewer.git via registry
