Hi,
I’ve been testing quite a few cordova plugins within my apps and keep finding that I get an error similar to this
✖ Running command - failed!
[ERROR] Cordova encountered an error.
You may get more insight by running the Cordova command above directly.
[ERROR] An error occurred while running cordova plugin add https://github.com/Telerik-Verified-Plugins/Mapbox --variable... (exit code 1):
Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/Telerik-Verified-Plugins/Mapbox via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
After running the command to install a cordova plugin from github using this command “ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/Telerik-Verified-Plugins/Mapbox --variable ACCESS_TOKEN=” I get the error. It isn’t this specific plugin as it happens with the keyboard plugin and others I’ve attempted to install with a github repo.
Anyone know what the problem is because it seems like only the stable version can ever be installed via npm?
This is the exact command you are running?
What CLI are you running? Post your ionic info output.
Yeah, the same code but with the token key after the =
global packages:
@ionic/cli-utils : 1.1.2
Cordova CLI : 7.0.1
Ionic CLI : 3.1.2
local packages:
@ionic/app-scripts : 1.3.7
@ionic/cli-plugin-cordova : 1.1.2
@ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular : 1.1.2
Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.2.1
System:
Node : v6.10.0
OS : Windows 7
Xcode : not installed
ios-deploy : not installed
ios-sim : not installed
Is this similar to your error output?

Running cordova plugin add https://github.com/Telerik-Verified-Plugins/Mapbox --variable=ACCESS_TOKEN=123 --save directly, without ionic in front, seems to work for me. Strange.
Can you confirm?

Open a new topic for that please.
