[error] Cannot set property 'is_top_level' of undefined

[mjromper]

Just tried for iOS. if "plugins" is defined in the configuration, you get this error when running "grunt phonegap:build:ios". It creates the ios project but it doesn't compile due to the error.

phonegap version 3.4.0-0.19.7 grunt-phonegap: 0.13.3

This is the console log and "verbose" set true.

Done, without errors.

See https://github.com/logankoester/grunt-phonegap/issues/61#issuecomment-37997480 - related I think.

@logankoester I believe it has to do with the way plugins are loaded/copied/compiled (I don't know exactly) into phonegap project. If there are no plugins then the task runs correctly, it creates the ios project and compiles successfully.

I believe that it is an issue with cordova-plugman (Phonegap CLI). When we run phonegap-build , it comes down to platform.js (cordova/src). It tries to install plugins-serially. That is the reason when there are no plugins , there is no issue raised

return plugins.reduce(function(soFar, plugin) {
                    return soFar.then(function() {
                        events.emit('verbose', 'Installing plugin "' + plugin + '" following successful platform add of ' + target);
                        return plugman.raw.install(target, output, path.basename(plugin), plugins_dir);
                    });

plugman.raw.install is expecting a fifth argument 'options' (in plugman/src/install.js)

module.exports = function installPlugin(platform, project_dir, id, plugins_dir, options) {

    if (!platform_modules[platform]) {
        return Q.reject(new Error(platform + " not supported."));
    }
    var current_stack = new action_stack();
    options.is_top_level = true;
    return possiblyFetch(id, plugins_dir, options)
    .then(function(plugin_dir) {
        return runInstall(current_stack, platform, project_dir, plugin_dir, plugins_dir, options);
    });
};

Here options is undefined. On commenting options.is_top_level , I was able to overcome this issue. I do not know if that is the solution to it. But it does not seem to be a issue with grunt-phonegap.

This issue has been updated and fixed in the cordova-plugman repository. apache/cordova-plugman@2d2c791

And has been put to plugman ~ 0.20.2 Which has also been updated in the cordova-cli ~ 3.4.0-0.1.3 (not dev) https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-cli.git;a=commitdiff;h=0f6250fa3d803e4ab3169dc637900b7533?b837ba

Updating the package dependency in phonegap-cli would solve this issue. And others associated with it - #38 and #36.
