Shuqian Ying created CB-10964: --------------------------------- Summary: build.js script under "platforms\android\cordova\lib" can not handle build.json file starting with a BOM Key: CB-10964 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10964 Project: Apache Cordova Issue Type: Bug Components: CLI Affects Versions: 3.5.0 Environment: All development platforms Reporter: Shuqian Ying Priority: Blocker
The generated build.js file under the "platforms\android\cordova\lib" directory of a project throws exceptions when reading the utf-8 encoded build.json file under the root directory of the same project that starts with a byte order mark (BOM), due to a bug/feature of the Javascript JSON.parse method. Such kind of files are normally generated in automated build systems, like ours. The solution we found is to strip that mark before parsing, namely, inside of the function "parseOpts", add the following line var buildjson = fs.readFileSync(buildConfig, 'utf8'); .... var config = JSON.parse(buildjson.replace(/^\uFEFF/, '')); instead of var buildjson = fs.readFileSync(buildConfig, 'utf8'); .... var config = JSON.parse(buildjson); This has always been a problem up to the most recent stable version (3.5.0) and most likely to cause the same problem for other platforms, besides android. -- 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
