-------------------------------
Summary: Cordova Android unable to resolve org.apache.cordova (Mac)
Key: CB-6892
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6892
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android
Affects Versions: 3.5.0
Reporter: Bruno Braga
After update from 3.2 to 3.5 my android project stopped to compile.
I think something broke in a recent update with Cordova.
My problem is the same reported at
http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/unable-to-resolve-org-apache-cordova-mac/4445
Another guy tested each Cordova version (android + mac + eclipse) and that is
the results:
------------------------------------------------
3.4.1-0.1.0 - After my success in the previous post,I deleted CordovaLib from
the platfiorms/Android directory. Cordova was unable to rebuild it - works if
it already exists (which may be why they didn't catch this bug - it affects
brand new projects).
3.2.0-0.4.0 - does not build (note - seemed to have alot of plugins included)
3.3.1-0.4.2 - works if you start with a fresh new folder - you can't just
ugrade, you have to start fresh and copy your app files back in
3.5.0-0.2.4 (latest) - fails on a clean build
3.5.0-0.2.1 - fails on clean build
3.4.1-0.1.0 - fails on clean build
3.4.0-0.1.3 - fails on clean build
3.4.0-0.1.0 - fails on clean build
3.4.0-rc.2 - could not install via npm - its gone...
3.3.1-0.4.23.3.1-0.4.2 - SUCCESS! WORKS
now to jump ahead and upgrade cordova to latest and try rebuilding on top of
old project with CordovaLib already built:
3.5.0-0.2.4 - the latest!
Rebuilds, but output different - no line breaks in the output, but it works.
There seems to be alot of operations different than the early version - like a
degug.apk being created.
To recap I did this to fix it [ATTENTION: BAND-AID SOLUTION FOLLOWS]:
Install old version of cordova from February, 2014
sudo npm -g uninstall cordova
sudo npm -g install cordova@3.3.1-0.4.23.3.1-0.4.2
delete previous project
rm -Rf wishthisworked
cordova create wishthisworked
cordova platform add android
cordova build android
DONE with old version, now to install the latest version
sudo npm -g uninstall cordova
sudo npm -g install cordova@3.5.0-0.2.4
within directory, build again - WORKS
Going forward :
Cordova needs to fix this bug. I'll report my findings to them.
The bad thing is every new project won't build for Android, without first
uninstalling the new version of Cordova and going back to the old version from
Feb, 2014, or try copying the CordovaLib directory to the platform/android
directory - but that is stupid ... We shouldn't have to do this... (I have not
tested this by the way)
So there's definitely a bug, it shouldn't be this hard. And even if its an
issue with my environment when all is said and done, it would be REAL NICE to
have some code in the setup that checks for that and tells the user/installer.
Otherwise, I have to dig into this more to find out why Ant is broke, and I
don't have time for that. I can just do my app in native Android and Xcode
faster than fixing this issue.
