fcamblor opened a new issue #119: cordova run xxx regularly updates package.json with an empty line
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/119
 
 
   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   
   Everytime I run `cordova run browser`, my `package.json` file is locally updated : 
   ![cordova_run_browser_updates_package_json](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/603815/58874805-0b24fd00-86ca-11e9-9b82-fc4e9dc922c4.png)
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   `package.json` is left unmodified, after any `cordova run` call (which sounds to be idempotent)
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   A new line is added at the end of `package.json`
   
   ## Information
   You have a reproducer script below
   
   ### Command or Code
   ```
   cd /tmp/cordova-sample/
   git init
   npm init
   # let everything as defaults
   npm install --save-dev cordova@9.0.0
   echo node_modules/ > .gitignore
   git add . && git commit -m "initial commit"
   npx cordova create tmp-cordova && rm tmp-cordova/package.json && mv tmp-cordova/* ./ && rm -Rf tmp-cordova/
   echo platforms >> .gitignore
   echo plugins >> .gitignore
   git add . && git commit -m "created cordova app"
   npx cordova platform add browser@6.0.0
   git add . && git commit -m "added browser platform"
   # installing a random npm package, resulting in changes in package.json
   npm install --save-dev noop
   git add . && git commit -m "added no-op package"
   # running a cordova run command
   npx cordova run browser
   # End of line appended at the end of the package.json line
   git diff
   ```

   ### Environment, Platform, Device
   Mac OS X 10.14.4
   
   ### Version information
   Tested on cordova cli `7.1.0`, `8.1.2` and `9.0.0`
