Description

Quite the bug!

<dependency id="cordova-plugin-file" spec="3.0.0" />
or
<dependency id="cordova-plugin-file" version="3.0.0" />

The above line will ignore spec or version and will always grab the latest. I went back and tried the previous version of cordova and this seems to be ignoring it as well. Seems like this was never working.
