Error when running cordova prepare

[nero120]

Running cordova prepare on a fresh clone of a cordova project that uses your plugin results in the following error:

Failed to restore plugin "com.borismus.webintent" from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin com.borismus.webintent@https://github.com/cordova-misc/cordova-webintent.git via registry. Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect. Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL. Failed to get absolute path to installed module

Any chance you could fix the plugin definition so we don't have to go hunting through the one hundred and eighty three forks or add yet another one to get this to work? Thanks!

The error you quoted mentions an issue with the plugin spec in your config.xml, but you didn't include that line from your config.xml.

Here's what we're using: <plugin name="com.borismus.webintent" spec="https://github.com/cordova-misc/cordova-webintent.git#v1.1.0" />

Does that work for you?

As your error message says, it could also be a transient issue with the network connection.

Thanks for the quick response, but unfortunately no it results in the same error. My project uses 18 cordova plugins all of which restore without error except for this one, so the problem must be with the plugin definition. Note that to run the plugin I ran the command on your readme, which did not add the version 1.1.0 to the spec url:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/cordova-misc/cordova-webintent.git

It does add successfully but when you run cordova prepare from fresh (i.e. nothing in Platforms or Plugins folder) it fails with the above error.

Try deleting the contents of your Platforms and Plugins folders and then running cordova prepare and see if you get the same error?

Hi @nero120

Try:
package.json base folder app.

Search "com.borismus.webintent"

replace code to make it look like this
...
"cordova-plugin-whitelist": "~1.2.1", "cordova-webintent": "git+https://github.com/cordova-misc/cordova-webintent.git", "com.borismus.webintent": "https://github.com/cordova-misc/cordova-webintent.git" }
...

Try prepare again

Hi @DanielRiera,

apologies for the late response. I made the changes as you suggested, cleared down the platforms and plugins folders, then ran cordova prepare but it still fails when trying to restore the plugin:

Failed to restore plugin "com.borismus.webintent" from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin com.borismus.webintent@https://github.com/cordova-misc/cordova-webintent.git via registry. Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect. Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL. Failed to get absolute path to installed module

Any other ideas?
