["Tim Barham (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9188?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tim Barham updated CB-9188:
---------------------------
    Description: 
If you delete a plugin folder (because you thought that was a good way to remove the plugin, for example) you end up getting a confusing error every time we prepare:

{noformat}
$ cordova prepare
Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'd:\CordovaApps\test1\plugins\org.apache.cordova.camera\plugin.xml'
    at Error (native)
    at Object.fs.openSync (fs.js:500:18)
    at Object.fs.readFileSync (fs.js:352:15)
    at Object.module.exports.parseElementtreeSync (d:\git\cordova-lib\cordova-lib\src\util\xml-helpers.js:118:27)
    at new PluginInfo (d:\git\cordova-lib\cordova-lib\src\PluginInfo.js:320:37)
    at PluginInfoProvider.get (d:\git\cordova-lib\cordova-lib\src\PluginInfoProvider.js:35:32)
    at d:\git\cordova-lib\cordova-lib\src\plugman\prepare.js:79:45
    at Array.forEach (native)
    at Object.handlePrepare (d:\git\cordova-lib\cordova-lib\src\plugman\prepare.js:77:24)
    at d:\git\cordova-lib\cordova-lib\src\cordova\prepare.js:109:21
{noformat}

While this is not a supported scenario, it would be good if we displayed a useful error message to guide the user how to proceed.
