Re: [DISCUSS] cordova@8 & tools release

2017-12-13 Thread Darryl Pogue 
Given the number of times I've run into (and complained about) build
failures due to unexpected npm version bugs, I'm 100% in favour of
this.

If there are cases where cordova-fetch is failing to install plugins,
please file bugs so we can know what they are.

This will not affect how end users install or use Cordova, nor should
it affect tools like VS that integrate with Cordova.

Currently cordova-lib has a package dependency on an old and
unsupported version of npm (2.x). That means when you install Cordova
using npm, it actually installs a second older copy of npm internally.
That has caused problems for people (including myself) due to commands
around Cordova sometimes using the system npm and sometimes using the
older npm, and there are behaviour differences between the two
versions.

The proposal is for Cordova to stop depending on (and therefore stop
installing) an older version of npm, and to rely on the system npm and
the new cordova-fetch system.

What could be functionalities  of new tool ? Any high level design in mind
,If we are dropping  npm then where those templates will  come.


Moreover tools like visual studio  17 Microsoft team has integrated  Cordova
framework ,like that if we integrate cordova  tool in Android studio and
Xcode it could be useful ,again you people can see how far it is possible .

[DISCUSS] cordova@8 & tools release

2017-12-13 Thread Terence M. Bandoian 
Does removing '--no-fetch' apply to adding plugins?  I've recently had 
to use that option to get local plugins (file spec) added without hanging.

Doing cordova@8 because we are dropping support for blackberry, webos,
Ubuntu.

Also aiming to remove `--no-fetch` in this release and drop npm dependency
from cordova.

Lastly, `cordova save` command will be dropped in this release too

Any thoughts or feedback?
