v1.3.0 not available for install

[rolinger]

trying to install v1.3.0:

ionic cordova plugin add com-sarriaroman-photoviewer@1.3.0 and the fetch is failing.....

Then I saw this in a closed issue: https://github.com/sarriaroman/photoviewer/issues/228

With a reference to installing it via GIT, but I can't find the reference to the GIT anywhere mentioned in issue #228 - can someone please post it here or update the documentation.

[rolinger]

@sarriaroman - please make 1.3.0 public

[sarriaroman]

Ups... really sorry, I will publish it today. Thanks for letting me know

[rolinger]

@sarriaroman Thank you....this will also make the fixes from 1.2.5 public too - both 1.2.5 and 1.3.0 were not public, installing @1.2.5 or @latest was still installing 1.2.4.

Please let us know when its made public. As of 11:20am (EST) its still not available for install.

[rolinger]

@sarriaroman - any update on this? v1.3.0 still isn't available for install.

@rolinger to install it directly from git, you call do it like this:

Cordova plugin add https://github.com/sarriaroman/photoviewer

This will work for now. However when the project updates the master branch, so will the plugin you have installed, if you reinstall etc.

@sithwarrior - have you actually tried that? Because it fails for me. Can't find the git binary.

cordova.cmd plugin add com-sarriaroman-photoviewer@1.3.0

Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

Yes I have tried that, that's how I have it installed at the moment.

Maybe your Cordova version is outdated or something? Or perhaps you don't have GIT installed

Error: No git binary found in $PATH

[rolinger]

@sithwarrior - I guess I don't understand what you are saying.

These install:

cordova plugin add com-sarriaroman.photoviewer (v1.2.4)
cordova plugin add com-sarriaroman.photoviewer@latest (v1.2.4)
cordova plugin add com-sarriaroman.photoviewer@1.2.4
cordova plugin add com-sarriaroman.photoviewer@1.2.5 (though, this still installs 1.2.4)

But these don't install, (git path not found):

cordova plugin add com-sarriaroman.photoviewer@1.3.0
cordova plugin add https://github.com/sarriaroman/photoviewer
cordova plugin add https://github.com/sarriaroman/photoviewer.git
cordova plugin add https://github.com/sarriaroman/photoviewer#master

[sithwarrior]

git path not found

is probably because you need to have git, the source control installed, before Cordova can download the plugin directly from GitHub.

https://git-scm.com/downloads

When you use the first methods, with the plugin name, Cordova is using NPM to fetch the package.

Ok...so small snafu on my part. I had installed git on a previous computer and not my new one - though I thought I had. That being said, if @sarriaroman would fully publish or make public the newest version, then NPM standard install would work. The newest version has been merged for over 4 months, but its still not setup correctly for standard install.

However, thank @sithwarrior - your feedback got this resolved for me. My mistake was not realizing that git wasn't installed as (in my mind) I thought it was and thought I had installed other packages using native git - but I realize now I did install other packages using git; but just not on THIS computer.

[rolinger]

Marking this as resolved.
