Bug Report

Problem

What is expected to happen?

The Windows platform should be added without errors.

What does actually happen?

The following error is logged (twice): cp: no such file or directory: C:\Temp\test\node_modules\cordova-windows\node_modules\winjs\js\base.js

Information

If you create a new cordova project and then try to add the windows platform version 7.0.0 the following output is logged:

It seems as if the paths to the base.js file are not resolved properly. They should be _C:\Temp\test\nodemodules\winjs\js\base.js instead of _C:\Temp\test\nodemodules\cordova-windows\node_modules\winjs\js\base.js

Command or Code

cordova create test
cd test
cordova platform add windows@7.0.0

Environment, Platform, Device

Windows 10 Enterprise Version 1809 Build 17763.379

Hello @janpio, I've just upgraded my project to cordova-windows@7.0.0 and I can confirm the exact same behavior. The error is logged twice while adding the platform. At runtime, the application is missing WinJS.
