SyntaxError when trying to add platform

ionic-v1
1

I just created a new app, when I try to add a platform (either ios or android) I get an error message about installing plugins. I tried with Cordova 3.5 and 3.4. With 3.5 the problem was supposedly a syntax error in the “ionic-keyboard” plugin. I have tried this both with the ionic commands and with cordova commands. Any help is much appreciated.

ionic platform add ios

This is the output with Cordova 3.4:

It seems that maybe this was due to the fact that the project was located on a samba share, which cordova has a history of problems with. The problem doesn’t occur if I create the app in my home directory.
