+The build script assumes that users have cordova-platforms as siblings to this `cordova-js` directory. When generating `cordova.js`, `grunt compile` will grab platform specific files from these directories if they exist. The default locations are defined in `package.json`.
Then from the repository root run:
- grunt
+ npm run build
To compile the js for just one platform, run:
- grunt compile:android --platformVersion=4.0.0
+ npx grunt compile:android --platformVersion=4.0.0
To compile the js for all platforms but pass in a custom path for your cordova-android and cordova-ios platforms, run:
- grunt compile --android='../custompath/cordova-android' --ios='../custompath/cordova-ios'
+ npx grunt compile --android='../custompath/cordova-android' --ios='../custompath/cordova-ios'
For integration, see the 'Integration' section below.
-## Known Issues
-
-- On Windows, when you run `npm install`, you may get errors regarding
- contextify. This is necessary for running the tests. Make sure you
- are running `node` **0.10.1** at the least (and `npm` **1.2.15** which should
- come bundled with `node` **0.10.1**). Also, install [Python 2.7.x](http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.3) and [Visual C++ 2010 Express](http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express). When that is done, run `npm install` again and it should build
- contextify natively on Windows.

# How It Works
The `tasks/lib/packager.js` tool is a node.js script that concatenates all of the core Cordova plugins in this repository into a `cordova.<platform>.js` file under the `pkg/` folder. It also wraps the plugins with a RequireJS-compatible module syntax that works in both browser and node environments. We end up with a `cordova.js` file that wraps each **Cordova** *plugin* into its own module.

# Testing
-Tests run in node or the browser. To run the tests in node:
+Tests run in a bundled headless Chromium instance. They can be run with:
- grunt test --platformVersion=3.6.0

-To run them in the browser:
-
- grunt btest
+ npm test
Final testing should always be done with the [Mobile Spec test application](https://github.com/apache/cordova-mobile-spec).

- grunt cover --platformVersion=3.6.0
