------------------------------
Summary: platform check doesn't warn when it can't install a
platform
Key: CB-7037
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7037
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CLI, CordovaLib
Affects Versions: 3.5.0
Reporter: Josh Soref
`cordova platform check` basically tries to create a new project with the same
platforms as in your current project. It doesn't complain about projects for
which it can't get a version - the original thinking was:

/* If a platform doesn't install, then we can't realistically
suggest updating */

The problem is that if you try to add android, it will often fail because one
or both of "android" or "ant" will be missing from your path. Since check can't
install android, it can't get its version and thus can't determine it isn't
current.
We should add some logic so that it can report that it can't determine instead
of making the admittedly stronger claim of "up-to-date".
