             Summary: dependent plugins attempt to install again, revert wipes out all previously-installed plugins
                 Key: CB-7678
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7678
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CordovaLib
            Reporter: Marcel Kinard
            Priority: Minor


This may be higher priority than Minor.

I have npm-link'ed cordova-lib into cordova-plugman and cordova-cli and am running createmobilespec.js. I am using master of all repos. When I run createmobilespec, it attempts to install the File plugin twice, probably as a dependency to FileTransfer. Upon that 2nd install attempt, it recognizes a problem and tries to revert.

When I try to run the generated mobilespec project, I am getting exceptions regarding missing classes. And indeed the native parts of classes are missing:
{code}
$ ls mobilespec/platforms/android/src/org/apache/cordova
file			media			statusbar
filetransfer		mediacapture		test
globalization		networkinformation	vibration
inappbrowser		splashscreen
$
{code}

All the plugins which were installed prior to FIle are now gone. It looks like the revert is being too aggressive and deleting all previously-installed plugins.

If I don't npm-link cordova-lib and just let it download the latest published one from the npm registry as defined in cordova-plugman's package.json, neither of these problems exist. Methinks that a problem has been introduced in cordova-lib since the last tools release.
