Description
Running "cordova prepare" and "cordova plugin add" handle plugin installation from a local folder differently and either one or another breaks depending on which one used first.
For example, I have a plugin defined as following in the config.xml:
<widget ...> ... <plugin name="cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance" spec="./custom_plugins/cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance" /> ... </widget>
This config is created when I run "cordova plugin add ./custom_plugins/cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance" and everything works as expected. But, if you delete the plugin from the plugins folder and try to run "cordova prepare" afterwards it will fail with the following message:
Discovered plugin "cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance" in config.xml. Adding it to the project Failed to restore plugin "cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance" from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance@file:custom_plugins/cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance via registry. Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect. Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL. Error: npm: Command failed with exit code 254 Error output: npm ERR! addLocal Could not install [project path]/node_modules/custom_plugins/cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance npm ERR! path [project path]/node_modules/custom_plugins/cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance npm ERR! code ENOENT npm ERR! errno -2 npm ERR! syscall open npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '[project path]/node_modules/custom_plugins/cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance' npm ERR! enoent This is most likely not a problem with npm itself npm ERR! enoent and is related to npm not being able to find a file. npm ERR! enoent
Also, after running "cordova prepare" the plugin entry in the config.xml was changed to:
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance" spec="file:custom_plugins/cordova-plugin-ios-no-export-compliance" />
