guirip opened a new issue #816: <resource-file /> tag copies a folder and its content when declared in a plugin.xml file, but the folder without its content when declared in a config.xml
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/816
 
 
   
   
   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   In the cordova project, at the same level as the config.xml file I have a folder named 'ios-resources', which contains a 'en.lproj' folder. This 'en.lproj' folder contains a file InfoPlist.strings.
   
   - [cordova project name]
   -- ...
   -- config.xml
   -- ios-resources
   --- en.lproj
   ---- InfoPlist.strings
   
   In the config.xml, I have this:
   
   ```
       <platform name="ios">
           <resource-file src="ios-resources/en.lproj" target="en.lproj" />
       </platform>
   ```
   I expect the 'en.lproj' folder and its content to be added to the XCode project.
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   I notice that the folder en.lproj is created in platforms/ios/[APP NAME]/Resources/en.lproj/ but it is empty.
   
   If I run `cordova prepare`, this warning appears:
   > Overwriting existing resource file at platforms/ios/[APP NAME]/Resources/en.lproj
   
   ## Information
   **important**: If you declare the same thing in the context of a cordova plugin, then the 'en.lproj' folder AND its content are successfully added to the XCode project...
   
   ### Command or Code
   
   ```
   cordova create test-resourcefile-bug
   cd test-resourcefile-bug/
   mkdir ios-resources
   mkdir ios-resources/en.lproj
   vim ios-resources/en.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
   ```
   Write:
   > "CFBundleDisplayName" = "APP RESOURCE-FILE BUG";
   "NSCameraUsageDescription" = "The app would like to access the camera to scan barcodes and QR codes.";
   
   Then:
   `vim config.xml`
   
   Add the following tag to platform tag where attribute name is "ios":
   > &lt;resource-file src="ios-resources/en.lproj" target="en.lproj" /&gt;
   
   Finally:
   ```
   cordova platform add ios@5.1.1
   cordova prepare
   ll platforms/ios/HelloCordova/Resources/en.lproj/
   ```
   
   The destination folder is still empty, the above `cordova platform add` command has output a warning message about overwriting the en.lproj folder:
   
   > Using cordova-fetch for cordova-ios@5.1.1
   Adding ios project...
   Creating Cordova project for the iOS platform:

   ### Environment, Platform, Device
   Issue noticed on cordova-ios, but I have no idea if cordova android has this problem too.
