             Summary: Plugin not installed when spec=directory
                 Key: CB-10921
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10921
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 6.0.0
         Environment: Mac OS 10.11.3.
            Reporter: Jacob Weber
            Priority: Minor


When I use {{<plugin>}} with spec set to a local directory, it doesn't seem to install the plugin.

I started with a new project, with no plugins or platforms. Then I added specific {{<engine>}} versions to config.xml. Finally I added a {{<plugin>}} with a local directory:
{code}
    <engine name="ios" spec="~4.1.0" />
    <engine name="android" spec="~5.1.1" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" spec="1" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-testplugin" spec="/Users/someone/TestPlugin" />
{code}

When I run {{cordova prepare}}, it says:
{code}
Copying plugin "/Users/someone/TestPlugin" => "/Users/someone/CordovaTest/plugins/cordova-plugin-testplugin"
{code}
but it doesn't actually copy the plugin there. Nor does it make any changes to either platform's {{config.xml}} file, or to any other config files.

On the other hand, if I manually install the plugin using {{cordova plugin add /Users/someone/TestPlugin}}, it works.

See attached log.

Side note: it seems to be repeating certain steps for every plugin installed. For example, it repeats:
{code}
Wrote out Android application name to "CordovaTest"
Wrote out Android package name to "com.test.cordovatest"
{code}
