Hi List, I just want to let you know that we have pending PRs that will introduce braking changes in cordova-windows.
These changes will move project update logic call from project build step to cordova-lib prepare step. The reason why we need this is that currently project update is triggered directly by build script (after 'after_prepare' hook being fired) and this makes plugin hooks and other tools working incorrectly (changes, made by hooks is being overwritten by this prepare logic). To be more precise, the following cases could be broken: 1. CLI > 5.0 (next version), Windows <= 3.8.2 (current or older) - the 'prepare' will be called twice (from lib and from platform's build) - unwanted, since changes that could be made by 'after_prepare' & 'before_compile' hooks will be overwritten by second 'prepare' call - but this is how it works now. 2. CLI <= 5.0 (current or older), Windows > 3.8.2 (next version) - 'prepare' will never be called, the platform code will never be updated - the worst case, the build probably will be broken. Some links: JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9025 cordova-lib: https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/pull/217 cordova-windows: https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/pull/77 We're going to merge this soon, so if anyone has a strong opinion against these changes, please let us know. --------------- Best regards, Vladimir
