[jira] [Commented] (CB-6993) Official and third-party plugins not installing correctly

["Shai Schechter (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6993?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14038727#comment-14038727 ] 

Shai Schechter commented on CB-6993:
------------------------------------

I've tracked down the problem. It occurs when you have _some_ plugins using the first format (*res/xml/config.xml*) such as the official plugins, but _other_ plugins using the second format (*config.xml*), as advocated by the Plugin Development Guide (http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.5.0/guide_platforms_android_plugin.md.html#Android%20Plugins). They get stored in *android.json* as separate paths, even though they are then merged into the same config.xml file, causing the config.xml ones to override the res/xml/config.xml ones.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6993
>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Android, Plugin Dialogs, Plugins
>    Affects Versions: 3.4.0
>            Reporter: Shai Schechter
>              Labels: config.xml, cordova-cli, plugins
>
> Most plugins I have come across (including, as one example, the official Dialogs plugin) include the line:
> {code}
> <config-file target="res/xml/config.xml" parent="/*">
> {code}
> in their *plugin.xml*.
> However, according to your plugin docs, the line should read:
> {code}
> <config-file target="config.xml" parent="/*">
> {code}
> I don't know if it's something wrong with my setup or what, but the latter is the only one that works for me. Any plugins using the former (res/xml/config.xml) do not have the corresponding *feature* tag added to any XML file - meaning the official plugins aren't working for me. Whereas, if I change it to the latter format, the feature tag is correctly copied into res/xml/config.xml when I run *cordova build*.
> Is this correct behaviour and the official plugins need updating? Or am I doing something wrong, and either syntax should work?
> Thanks very much.
> UPDATE: I am also pretty sure that the former syntax was working previously, on the same version (3.4.0-0.1.0) that I am using now. Which leads me to believe something must have changed on my end, although I have no idea what. Any ideas??
