Cordova Installation via Github not working

[DevinCarpenter]

Installing the plugin via Github does not work.

Using command cordova plugin add https://github.com/rodrigo-martinezd/cordova-dialog-gps.git

Returns error information:
Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/rodrigo-martinezd/cordova-dialog-gps.git via registry. Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect. Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL. Error: cmd: Command failed with exit code 4294963238 Error output: npm ERR! path C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_cacache\tmp\git-clone-4d9bb76c\package.json npm ERR! code ENOENT npm ERR! errno -4058 npm ERR! syscall open npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_cacache\tmp\git-clone-4d9bb76c\package.json' npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file. npm ERR! enoent

But using this command to install cordova plugin add cordova-dialog-gps
works perfectly. I wanted to point out that you should add that command to your documentation on github and the NPM documentation as that is what works for me. I'm using cordova version 7.0.1.

Thank you for the great plugin!

Thanks for the information, it's very usefull. With all the error reports on cordova 7 i was thinking that just doesn't work and this is a little light of hope. For now i'm on my last semester at college so i'm very busy. When i've more time i'll check all the errors. Thank you for taken the time to wrote me. 2017-08-21 18:00 GMT-03:00 Devin Carpenter <[email protected]>:

@rodrigo-martinezd - Plugin failing in Cordova 8.0 with cordova-android 7.0. Not certain if its the 8.0 or the 7.0 thats causing the problem. But the xml directory does not exist.

cp: copyFileSync: could not write to dest file (code=ENOENT):c:\Users\rolin\dev\myApp\platforms\android\res\xml\config.xml

Parsing c:\Users\rolin\dev\myApp\platforms\android\res\xml\config.xml failed
(node:15568) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'c:\Users\rolin\dev\myApp\platforms\android\res\xml\config.xml'

If I manually create the xml directory, the build then gets the next error saying the \res\values\ directory does not exist...so I add it. Then the next error is \res\values\strings.xml does not exist. So I add it...and then it errors again.

I wonder with a few tweaks if this plugin can be updated and brought into the 2018? :-) Would be mucho grateful if you did....been using the plugin a long time. I would like to keep it in my app.
