[jira] [Commented] (CB-7372) Prepare for FirefoxOS on Windows generates incorrect path

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7372?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14107605#comment-14107605 ]

    CB-7372 Remove use of path.join for manifest.launch_path

    I was having issues on Windows when creating a new FirefoxOS project. A brand new project, when added to the Firefox App Manager, gave an error: "Launch path has to be an absolute path starting with '/': '\index.html'". The issue is the use of path.join to generate manifest.launch_path. On Windows, this uses backslashes, which caused the issue. I have opted to simply use concatenation instead.
    
    I have also fixed an issue where "cordova prepare firefoxos" would fail if there was no <content> tag in the config.xml. If it is not present, we default to index.html.

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: CordovaLib, FirefoxOS
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
>         Environment: Windows 8 64-bit
>            Reporter: GearĂ³id Moroney
>            Priority: Critical
>
> On Windows, the manifest.webapp file for Firefox OS has an invalid path. The file must be edited manually to get the app to work.
> To reproduce:
> - Install Cordova 3.5.0
> - Create a new project: cordova create test
> - In the test folder, add FxOS: cordova platform add firefoxos
> - Package the app. For FxOS all that needs to be done is prepare: cordova prepare firefoxos
> - In Firefox (at least version 26), go to about:app-manager
> - Click Apps on the left, and then "Add Packaged App" on the bottom. Select test/platforms/firefoxos/www
> - On the right-hand side, notice the error: "Launch path has to be an absolute path starting with '/': '\index.html'"
> I have a fix ready for this and will submit a pull request on GitHub.
