How to install latest master version branch #308

Closed vtellez closed 3 years ago

vtellez commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I would like to ask, how should I go about using the master version of the plugin?

If I install the plugin using this command: cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-file-transfer

I always get version 1.7.1, which currently does not allow compiling on android 10, but I have seen that it was fixed a few days ago.

Could you tell me how to install this latest version from cordova?

Thanks in advance

It's not really recommended for production use as these changes haven't been voted on for release, but you can install using a git clone url. NPM will clone the repository as a NPM module.

e.g: cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git

If you have the plugin already installed, you'll need to first remove it by doing cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-file-transfer.

Lastly, if you ARE going to use it in a production setting... then I'd recommend at least pinning to a specific commit. The latest commit at the of writing is 2cdb0403a81821e144998c8d9a00d338d6ece3ee so you can use git # for commit/branch/tag identifier to install at that specific commit.

e.g.: cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git#2cdb0403a81821e144998c8d9a00d338d6ece3ee

Cheers!
