Develop NativeScript Plugins with SideKick #55

Open DimitarTachev opened 7 years ago

Please, provide the details below:

Did you verify whether this issue has already been reported here?

Yes

Tell us about the problem.

I'm trying to develop NativeScript plugins using SideKick following the official plugins seed. During plugin development, you test the Demo App of the plugin which installs the plugin from the file system like "nativescript-yourplugin": "../src" OR by using NPM Links (the recommended approach). However, both of the approaches are not currently supported by SideKick and the plugin development is almost impossible.

Tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

  1. Start the application.
  2. Open the Demo of a NativeScript Plugin.
  3. Run the 'build' and 'plugin.link' npm commands in the plugin src folder.
  4. Run the Demo.
  5. You will get a folder not found error as the linked plugin folder cannot be found during Cloud Build.

Does this issue happen every time?

Yes

This is a very good idea. Due to complexity of the cloud build, we need some time to brainstorm the most effective way to implement this. Looping in @rosen-vladimirov .
