Ionic-framework: Failed to fetch plugin git+ssh://git@ ... .git via registry

[patrickbussmann]

Ionic version:
[ ] 2.x
[X] 3.x
[ ] 4.x

I'm submitting a ...
[X] bug report
[ ] feature request

Current behavior:
I got an error if I'm execute ionic cordova build android because of plugin restore try.

Expected behavior:
I get no error because the plugin can be fetched.

Steps to reproduce:
I'm using cordova 7.1.0 and ionic 3.13.0.

"dependencies": {
    "custom-plugin": "git+ssh://[email protected]/test/custom-plugin.git"
},

Error:

Failed to restore plugin "custom-plugin" from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin git+ssh://[email protected]/test/custom-plugin.git via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
Failed to get absolute path to installed module

Hello! Thank you for opening an issue with us!

The Ionic Framework issues list is designated for the reporting of bugs with the Ionic Framework or for requesting new features. As this seems like more of a support question I am going to close this issue.

I urge that you ask this question on our forum or on our slack channel.

You should also search the issues list for the Ionic CLI here: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli

Thanks for using Ionic!

Hmm @kensodemann it's correct specified so this is no question, its an error.
Maybe the question is if this is a npm, cordova or ionic problem.
If I move the plugin to config.xml and remove it from package.json it will work fine.

So where to search for the problem? Ionic CLI? NPM? Cordova?

[kensodemann]

I would start with the Ionic CLI repo listed in my prior reply.

@patrickbussmann I am facing similar issue like yours

Error:-

Failed to restore plugin "branch-Cordova-SDK" from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin branch-Cordova-sdk@^2.6.0 via the registry.

One thing I have noticed is:- If I am firing command "Cordova build android", It is installing branch SDK. But If I am using the command:- " ionic Cordova build android" showing above error.
My project is related to ionic, so ionic is must be needed. How can I achieve it?

Please help me with this if you have found any solution.

Thanks

I have the same problem

[patrickbussmann]

Hey @ZalakSA and @fdambrosio:

I temporarily fixed this by only adding this git+ssh plugins only to the config.xml.
So in my config.xml I have all plugins which contains git+ssh in the name/url and in the package.json I have all other plugins.

The plugins will be added successfully and I have no problems 👍
But it's bad because I must take care about both files. And the packages will be added automatically to package.json after install so I must take care to not commit them to git repository 👎

It's a problem of cordova > 7.0.2. Vote and comment on issue in cordova https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13507
