Description

cordova create foo
cd foo
cordova platform add windows 
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-test-framework

Change the following line in config.xml

<content src="index.html" />

to:

<content src="cdvtests/index.html" />

Then:

cordova run windows

It works fine. Then:

cordova platform rm windows && cordova platform add windows
cordova run windows

It fails with build error:
