Description
In you are disconnected from the internet and try to add a platform or plugin that has previously been cached, Cordova eventually successfully installs the platform/plugin, but only after a very long wait.
We could check for the existence of the cached platform/plugin before calling npm cache add. This would mean an instant return when not connected to the internet.
Note that this will only help if we are adding a specific version - when a version range is specified, we need to hit the internet anyway to find the matching version.
Background: First time build failures in Cordova tools in Visual Studio are primarily due to npm failures. Therefore we are working to avoid any requirement for npm} to hit the internet in simple build scenarios. This includes pre-installing cached versions of certain platforms and plugins. But we only get the full benefit if Cordova uses these cached versions if it finds them, without calling npm cache add.
