Lisa Seacat DeLuca commented on CB-7569:
----------------------------------------
Nice, so [~cmarcelk] found how to do it:
Alternately, specify a local path to the plugin directory that contains the
plugin.xml file:
$ cordova plugin add ../my_plugin_dir
...now we just need to figure out a way to gracefully fail/add this in. In
this example the user kinda needs to know where the plugin is installed in
another project. Wonder if it's possible to search the file system for the
plugin and prompt the user ("your internet is down but you can install the
plugin from these old projects... x... y... z...")

> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: CLI
> Reporter: Lisa Seacat DeLuca
> Priority: Minor
>
> Seems like whenever I'm demoing Cordova at a conference I am competing with
> the attendees for an internet connection. Which means that I get an error
> trying to do cordova plugin add ____ because it can't fetch it from the
> internet. What would be cool is if the CLI didn't fail on internet
> connection IF the user already has a separate project that has that same
> plugin installed. For example, suppose I'm demoing camera and the internet
> is down. But I happen to have already installed the camera plugin for
> another project. Rather than fail, the system will copy the camera plugin
> from the other project and use that. Of course a nice message to the user
> "we're borrowing from project X because the internet was down" would be nice.
