Meteor: [1.6b23][1.5.2b11] Including a cordova plugin via relative path breaks rebuilds

[BudgieInWA]

In the current beta versions of both 1.5.2 and 1.6, including a plugin via a relative path causes rebuilds to fail.

If cordova-plugins contains local-plugin@file://../plugin for example, the first build will succeed, but subsequent builds with fail with:

=> Errors executing Cordova commands:         

   While removing plugins cordova-plugin-meteor-webapp,cordova-plugin-splashscreen,cordova-plugin-statusbar,cordova-plugin-whitelist,cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine,local-plugin from Cordova project:
   Cordova error: Plugin "local-plugin" is not present in the project. See `cordova plugin list`.
   (If the error message contains suggestions for a fix, note that this may not apply to the Meteor integration. You can try running again with the --verbose option to help diagnose the issue.)

This error is reproduced in a bare-bones project on the local-plugins-break-build branch of this repo: https://github.com/BudgieInWA/meteor-cordova-postBuildExtras-bug/tree/local-plugins-break-build

It looks like this has been fixed in cordova-lib master. Here was the pull request:

https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/pull/557

... which was merged into cordova-lib master on 3-Jun. Cordova's 7.0.1 release was 10-May-17, it doesn't include the 3-Jun patch to resolve this issue. Perhaps the next 7.0.x release will include this fix.

As @skirunman mentioned, this is fixed in 1.6.1 and will be coming soon. Closing - thanks!
