> Key: CB-11683
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11683
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 3.5.0
> Environment: Windows 10
> Reporter: Szymon Drosdzol
> Priority: Minor
>
> I have cerated a custom plugin. In my plugin.xml I've added java sources
> directory with the following XML tag:
> {{<source-file src="src/com/thisisdir/" target-dir="src/com/" />}}
> Next I tried to install that plugin using the following command:
> {{cordova plugin add ..\AuthenticatorPlugin --link}}
> Unfortunatetly that only creates a useless 0-byte file in the destination
> folder instead of proper link.
> This resembles behaviour of Windows' mklink command, which does exactly this
> when trying to create the link to the directory without the /D parameter.
> This is clearly bad design. The command failed to do its job but exited
> normally instead of presenting any error message. Cordova shoudln't replicate
> that behaviour and handle folder linking on its own. Therefore we should
> either:
> * fail the task on attempts to link a directory,
> * handle directory linking properly.
> I think the second option is way better :)
