Basically it fails on this line: https://github.com/apache/cordova-mobile-spec/blob/5ca83f3f77e877e83389a38a21db8171f73122ea/createmobilespec/createmobilespec.js#L360
where top_dir is the parent folder where all my repos are kept and which contains the folder cordova-plugin-test-framework.

if --searchpath is the exact folder for the plugin, it works. Not if searchpath recurses through subfolders? if it does, it might be a searchpath bug, if not we just add the hardcoded path to this script.

> When doing tests for a platforms/tools release, since plugins aren't updated, the platforms/tools should be tested against the latest released plugins instead of the master branch of plugins. So the suggestion is to add a new option to createmobilespec.js to create a test project that uses the local git repo for platforms and tools, but downloads the plugins from the registry (latest).
