Bug Report

Problem

Plugins are not copied to platforms folders after delete repo, clone it again and build platforms

What is expected to happen?

Plugins is succesfully installed and worked in both platforms (Android and iOS). After delete repo locally and clone it again, plugins are successfully copied to platforms/ios and platforms/android.

What does actually happen?

After delete repo locally and clone it again, plugins are not copied to platforms folders. To fix this bug, I need to remove both platforms and add it again. After this, plugins are copied and works fine.

Has Cordova ever installed the platform for you before? Using cordova platform add ... for the platform you intend to buiild. This was something a requirement for as long as I remember...

Yes, all platforms has been installed before. After delete repo and clone it again, everything is fine but plugins folder is not defined in platforms/ios and platforms/android.

For a team setup it's recommended to git ignore the following folders:

When you clone the repo, the developer should:

This way your project can be supported on different environments, for example you cannot work on an ios platform on windows/linux. It also makes sures that when npm install is used (behind the scenes), any native modules are installed for your specific environment.

I don't think this is a bug. Let me know what you think though. And if your flow worked before, can you give what cordova version it worked in?

I am not sure about it worked before. I am going to try your advice. Thank you for quick answer.
