Josh Soref created CB-7037: ------------------------------ Summary: platform check doesn't warn when it can't install a platform Key: CB-7037 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7037 Project: Apache Cordova Issue Type: Bug Components: CLI, CordovaLib Affects Versions: 3.5.0 Reporter: Josh Soref
`cordova platform check` basically tries to create a new project with the same platforms as in your current project. It doesn't complain about projects for which it can't get a version - the original thinking was: {quote} /* If a platform doesn't install, then we can't realistically suggest updating */ {quote} https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/0abfcded491fc4e15e24992ba101a5863513a1a7/cordova-lib/src/cordova/platform.js#L250-L251 The problem is that if you try to add android, it will often fail because one or both of "android" or "ant" will be missing from your path. Since check can't install android, it can't get its version and thus can't determine it isn't current. We should add some logic so that it can report that it can't determine instead of making the admittedly stronger claim of "up-to-date". {quote} https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/0abfcded491fc4e15e24992ba101a5863513a1a7/cordova-lib/src/cordova/platform.js#L262 {quote} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
