Description

Cordova cannot add a test plugin to a project anymore:

cordova create foo
cd foo
cordova plugin add ../cordova-plugin-device
cordova plugin add ../cordova-plugin-device/tests --verbose

This produces the following error:

Warning: using prerelease version 6.5.1-dev (cordova-lib@6.5.1-dev)
No scripts found for hook "before_plugin_add".
Calling plugman.fetch on plugin "../cordova-plugin-device/tests"
