Can't add plugin through Cordova CLI: Filename too long

ghost commented 9 years ago

I encountered this error when I tried to add it into a new Cordova project.

I had tried to use this plugin in Supersonic Appgyver app along with ngCordova, but it does not display any dialog, I'd then tried to use it on pure Cordova project, and I get the error above. Is there any way to fix it?

met the same issue . even "git clone https://github.com/pbernasconi/cordova-progressIndicator.git" does not work.

On Windows Git gets compiled with msys (old Windows API) which has a limit of 260 characters for a filename. You can change your GIT configuration to use longer filenames:

git config --system core.longpaths true
