----------------------------

             Summary: Cordova returns unknown errors messages when symlinks are pointing to bad locations
                 Key: CB-5347
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5347
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: JennyGee
            Priority: Minor


Steps to reproduce: 
1. npm install cordova 
2. cordova create project 
3. cd project 
4. cordova platform add firefoxos 
5. cordova platform remove firefoxos 
6. mv ~/.cordova/lib/firefoxos/cordova/3.1.0 ~/.cordova/lib/firefoxos/cordova/3.1.0-orig 
7. ln -s /no/such/firefoxos ~/.cordova/lib/firefoxos/cordova/3.1.0 
8. cordova platform add firefoxos 

Actual result: 
Error that comes back that doesn't really say what is wrong: 
shell.js: internal error 
Error: EEXIST, file already exists '~/.cordova/lib/firefoxos/cordova/3.1.0' 

Expected result: 
Some sort of error that says something like this: 
[Error: Unable to fetch platform blackberry10: ~/.cordova/lib/firefoxos/cordova/3.1.0 points to non-existent or unreadable location: /no/such/firefoxos]
