[jira] [Reopened] (CB-3605) package.json bin scripts

["Angela Fowler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3605?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Angela Fowler reopened CB-3605:
-------------------------------


The README refers to a number of scripts which do not exist in the bin directory.

https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/README.md
./bin/bench ............................ generate a bench proj (Joe removed in his fork?)
./bin/autotest ......................... test the cli tools
./bin/test ............................. run mobile-spec

The package.json refers to scripts which do not exist in bin.

https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/bin/package.json
"bin": {
    ...,
    "bench": "./bench",
    "autotest": "./autotest",
    "BOOM": "./BOOM",
    "test": "./test"
  },

If npm is not required on Windows the README should be modified.

This is an issue which needs to be tracked and resolved.

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Android
>    Affects Versions: 2.7.0
>         Environment: Windows
>            Reporter: Angela Fowler
>            Assignee: Joe Bowser
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The "Cordova Android Developer Tools" section talks about installing the dependencies however the package.json does not contain any dependencies. It contains a "bin" which maps command names to local file names.
> "bin":
> { "create": "./create", "bench": "./bench", "autotest": "./autotest", "BOOM": "./BOOM", "test": "./test" }
> 1. The only command in the bin directory is create (and also update which is not in package.json bin).
> The autotest and test exist in the cordova-cli project but only for ios.
> I could not find bench or BOOM.
> 2. The create script is a bash script. There is also a create.js and create.bat for Windows which does not appear to require npm.
> Is there any use for npm on Windows in cordova-android?
> 3. Is this how npm looks when correctly installed for cordova-android? Could it have failed somehow because the repository is pointing to incubator?
> c:\development\cordova-2.7.0\cordova-android\bin>npm list npm WARN package.json cordova-android-cli@0.0.1 No README.md file found!
> cordova-android-cli@0.0.1 c:\development\cordova-2.7.0\cordova-android\bin
> └── (empty)
> Note : npm runs successfully in cordova-js which has several dependencies installed and listed.
