asgoth opened a new issue #91: --nosave flag causes errors when adding platforms/plugins
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/91
 
 
   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   
   On several `cordova` commands, the `nosave` flag causes issues.
   
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   
   Platform/plugin correctly installed. Installation succeeds without the `nosave` flag.
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   
   On `cordova platform add ios --nosave`:
   
   ```
   ~/Development/git/test-cordova/test » cordova platform add ios --nosave
   Using cordova-fetch for cordova-ios@^5.0.0
   Adding ios project...

   	Package: io.cordova.hellocordova
   	Name: HelloCordova
   iOS project created with cordova-ios@5.0.0
   Discovered plugin "cordova-plugin-whitelist" in config.xml. Adding it to the project

   On `cordova plugin add xxx --nosave` (doesn't matter which plugin):
   
   ```
   ~/Development/git/test-cordova/test » cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera --nosave
