[GitHub] [cordova-cli] fquirin opened a new issue, #582: target of 'resource-file' in config.xml path correct?

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

fquirin opened a new issue, #582:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/issues/582

   # Bug Report (or feature?)
   
   ## Problem
   
   When using `target` in `<resource-file>` tag of `config.xml` the path location is unclear looking at the documentation.
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   
   When using `<resource-file src="FooPluginStrings.xml" target="res/values/FooPluginStrings.xml" />` as [described in the docs](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/11.x/config_ref/index.html#resource-file) I'd expect the file to end up in the according resources folder of the platform, in this case `app/src/main/res/values/FooPluginStrings.xml`.
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   
   The file ends up in the top-level project folder for Android.
   
   ## Information
   
   I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature but the documentation is at least misleading. `res/values/...xml` is the classic resource path for Android platform but you have to use `app/src/main/res/values/...xml` as `target` to actually get this path. In the example this should be:
   ```
   <resource-file src="FooPluginStrings.xml" target="app/src/main/res/values/FooPluginStrings.xml" />
   ```
   
   In addition it seems the behavior in `config.xml` and `plugin.xml` is different 🤔. Plugin resource files seems to be placed in the correct folder without adding `app/src/main`.
   
   ### Command or Code
   
   Put a resource in your config.xml and build the Cordova project, as seen in the docs:
   ```
   <resource-file src="FooPluginStrings.xml" target="res/values/FooPluginStrings.xml" />
   ```
   
   ### Environment, Platform, Device
   
   Debian 9.5 terminal (Windows 11 WSL2), x86_64
   
   ### Version information
   
   Cordova: 11.0.0, Android platform 11.0.0
   Other Frameworks: none
   Operating System: Debian 9.5 on Windows 11 WSL2
