["Joe Bowser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12594?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Joe Bowser updated CB-12594:
----------------------------
    Component/s:     (was: cordova-plugins)
                     (was: cordova-android)
                     (was: cordova-ios)
                 cordova-lib

This is definitely a cordova-lib problem

> Consider a plugin that defined a preference in its plugin.xml
> When you use the CLI feature to save plugins into config.xml and also add the variables for this plugin, the CLI complains when adding the plugin during platform restore (missing variables):
> {code:title=plugin.xml}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <plugin
>     xmlns="http://apache.org/cordova/ns/plugins/1.0"
>     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>     id="cordova-plugin" version="1.0">
>     <preference name="COMPANY_NAME" />
> {code}
> {code:title=config.xml}
> <plugin name="cordova-plugin" spec="cordova-plugin-insert-io">
>         <variable name="COMPANY_NAME" value="acme" />
> {code}
> When removing a platform and re-adding it this is the result:
> {code}
> Installing "cordova-plugin" for android
> Failed to install 'cordova-plugin':Error: Variable(s) missing: COMPANY_NAME

> It seems, the CLI checks the fetch.json file, and if that does not contain the variables, it fails with this error. Manually adding the variables to the fetch.json file, or re-installing the plugin helps (reinstalling rewrites the fetch.json file).
> That means, if we add a variable to our plugin during plugin development, we would have to remove the plugin (unlink) it first, and then re-add it, specifying all the variables at the CLI.
> How it should actually work is that config.xml has precedence over whatever it says in fetch.json. Or get rid of fetch.json alltogether. I think its only there for historical reasons?
