             Summary: cordova create fails when link/source arg = $CWD
                 Key: CB-5947
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5947
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0, 3.4.0
            Reporter: Ian Clelland
            Assignee: Mark Koudritsky


If {{cordova create}} is passed a {{--src}} or {{--link}} option whose argument is the current directory (or any parent of it, I suspect), then it will try to copy or link the current directory to {{newapp/www}}

In the link case, this just creates a symlink cycle; in the copy case, it actually tries to recursively copy the directory inside itself. On OSX it eventually terminates with ENAMETOOLONG.

In both cases, the project is broken and could never be used to build anything.

We should detect this case and abort with an error condition.
