Problem

Cannot install plugin in my project

What is expected to happen?

When I execute the install command cordova plugin add cordova-browser --save the plugin is installed in my project.

What does actually happen?

When I execute the install command cordova plugin add cordova-browser --save the cordova-cli prints the error message Cannot find plugin.xml for plugin "cordova-browser". Running the command with --verbose option I get the following output:

$ cordova plugin add cordova-browser --verbose --save
No scripts found for hook "before_plugin_add".
No version specified for cordova-browser, retrieving version from config.xml

cordova-browser is not a plugin and will not have a plugin.xml file. This is a platform repo.
