errors about cordova-check-plugins HOT 2 CLOSED

It appears this is due to a change in the format of fetch.json when using cordova@7.
By default, cordova@7 uses npm install to install plugins whereas cordova@6 and earlier used git clone.
Therefore, when adding a plugin from a git repo, the entry in fetch.json is different between the cordova versions.

For example:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation

Entry in fetch.json using [email protected]:

"cordova-plugin-geolocation": {
    "source": {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation",
        "subdir": "."
    },
"is_top_level": true,
        "variables": {}
}

Entry in fetch.json using [email protected]:

"cordova-plugin-geolocation": {
    "source": {
        "type": "registry",
        "id": "https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation"
    },
    "is_top_level": true,
    "variables": {}
}

As you can see, cordova@7 now sets type: registry even though it was installed from a Git repo.

This tool currently expects type: git hence the error.

I'll have to do some regex checking on the source.id to determine the source type, rather than relying on source.type.

Will publish a patch release to fix this soon.

Fixed in [email protected] which now fully supports cordova@7.
