------------------------------
Assignee: Filip Maj
> Local development of plugins with variables need variables in fetch.json

> Key: CB-12594
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12594
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android, CLI, iOS, Plugins
> Reporter: Philipp Kursawe
> Assignee: Filip Maj
>
> Consider a plugin that defined a preference in its plugin.xml
> When you use the CLI feature to save plugins into config.xml and also add the
> variables for this plugin, the CLI complains when adding the plugin during
> platform restore (missing variables):
> {code:title=plugin.xml}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <plugin
> xmlns="http://apache.org/cordova/ns/plugins/1.0";
> xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
> id="cordova-plugin" version="1.0">
> <preference name="COMPANY_NAME" />
> {code}
> {code:title=config.xml}
> <plugin name="cordova-plugin" spec="cordova-plugin-insert-io">
> <variable name="COMPANY_NAME" value="acme" />
> {code}
> When removing a platform and re-adding it this is the result:
> {code}
> Installing "cordova-plugin" for android
> Failed to install 'cordova-plugin':Error: Variable(s) missing: COMPANY_NAME

> It seems, the CLI checks the fetch.json file, and if that does not contain
> the variables, it fails with this error. Manually adding the variables to the
> fetch.json file, or re-installing the plugin helps (reinstalling rewrites the
> fetch.json file).
> That means, if we add a variable to our plugin during plugin development, we
> would have to remove the plugin (unlink) it first, and then re-add it,
> specifying all the variables at the CLI.
> How it should actually work is that config.xml has precedence over whatever
> it says in fetch.json. Or get rid of fetch.json alltogether. I think its only
> there for historical reasons?
