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

             Summary: Error for creating a project inside its template is confusing
                 Key: CB-6540
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6540
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 3.4.0
            Reporter: Josh Soref
            Assignee: Josh Soref


If you pass the right magic template to cli.create:
{quote}
options = \{ id: id, name: name, lib: \{} };
options.lib.www = \{id: 'custom', version: '0', uri: path.resolve(template)}}

        cordova.create(dir, null, null, options, function (err) {});
{quote}
You end up reaching this code path:
{quote}
        if ( www_dir.indexOf(path.resolve(config_json.lib.www.uri)) === 0 ) \{
            throw new CordovaError(
                'Project must not be created inside the www assets dir.' +
                '\n    project dir:\t' + dir +
                '\n    www assets dir:\t' + config_json.lib.www.uri
            );
        }

{quote}

The output is:
{quote}
\{ name: 'CordovaError',
  message: 'Project must not be created inside the www assets dir.\n    project dir:\t/private/tmp/null/y\n    www assets dir:\t/private/tmp/null' }
{quote}

Amongst the many problems:
 1. The \n's and \t's aren't actually being converted into newlines and tabs
 2. The message is absolutely incomprehensible (even if it wasn't garbled up by the encoded whitespace).
