I > expected to be able to download and git apply these patches in the git root > for each of the two node modules - cordova-cli and cordova-plugman. However, > they are not set up correctly for this, and produced errors: > error: platforms.js: No such file or directory > error: src/platform.js: No such file or directory > Indeed, the path locations in each patch do not seem to be vaild for any > given location within either module. I thus ended up finding all files named > platform.js and platforms.js (there are many, spread throughout the > cordova-lib module within both cordova-cli and cordova-plugman), eyeballing > them to see which files matched the patch changes, and copy/pasting the > changes manually. (8 files in total, as the 4 "patched" files appear under > cordova-lib in each cordova module.) > When running cordova platform add osx, I then got an error about an invaild > location for the ios-parser. I found the incorrect line in the "patched" > cordova/platform.js and changed it as follows: > parser : './metadata/ios_parser', > Following this I was able to add the osx platform and run the app. > Needless to say, this is a frustrating developer experience. I don't know why > the osx platform information code is not included in cordova by default - it > would seem to be fairly well isolated from effects on any other platform - > but if it is going to be "upgradable" in this fashion, then the git patches > should at least work. If they were designed to work (and ever did work) with > a specific version of the cordova modules, or in a different location other > than the git root, then that should be stated, instead of instructing the > hapless developer to clone cordova from master and providing no further clues. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
