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

             Summary: 'plugin add ../local/path/to/plugin' cannot access plugin via parent directory.  Fails with 404 from npmjs.org
                 Key: CB-10975
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10975
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 6.1.0
         Environment: Windows 7
            Reporter: Brendan P Flynn


cordova app directory structure:
app
-/bin (build scripts)
-/custom_plugins
  -/com.myorg.myplugin
-/platforms
-/plugins
-/test
-/www

These attempts to add the plugin work in the command line:
C:...\app\bin>cordova plugin add ../custom_plugins/com.myorg.myplugin --searchpath ../
AND
C:...\app>cordova plugin add custom_plugins/com.myorg.myplugin

This attempt does not work in command line:
C:...\app\bin>cordova plugin add ../custom_plugins/com.myorg.myplugin

Error: Registry returned 404 for GET on https://registry.npmjs.org/myorg

Despite the example [cordova plugin add ../cordova-plugin-camera] from the docs (https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-cli/index.html#cordova-plugin-command)

If --searchpath is required to find a local plugin in a parent directory, then that should be documented and the examples should be changed.

If --searchpath is not required, then this is a bug?
