inconsistent behavior of --link flag during plugin add.

Open alokrajiv opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

When I add a plugin from local using --link as the documentation mentions, I notice that the plugins folder in the application base folder is a symlink. That is gud :) , but.....

At the platform_www/plugins 2 unexpected behaviour can happen:

  • if platform installed first & then plugin added: a copy of plugin used and not a symlink
  • if plugin installed first & then platform: any plugin added by --link is totally forgotten about & missing

cordova --version : 7.0.1 ios@~4.5.5 browser@~4.1.0

Is this is expected behaviour or an actual bug?

Thanks!

Could you please confirm that this is still a problem when using cordova@9?
