Hi guys,
I’m with problems in the step cordova archive with a plugin that using Git url at config.xml

<widget>
 .....
  <plugin name="newrelic-cordova-plugin" spec="https://github.com/rennanc/newrelic-cordova-plugin.git">
          <variable name="IOS_APP_TOKEN" value="*****" />
          <variable name="ANDROID_APP_TOKEN" value="*****" />
      </plugin>
  <engine name="android" spec="^7.0.0" />
 <engine name="ios" spec="^4.5.4" />
 </widget>

I builded at local, but when i pass to bitrise happened this error:

Discovered plugin “newrelic-cordova-plugin” in config.xml. Adding it to the project
Failed to restore plugin “newrelic-cordova-plugin” from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin git+https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-cordova-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

The same issue presents itself when loading a plugin from file:

<plugin name="com.mirasense.scanditsdk.plugin" spec="./scandit/scandit-barcodescanner-phonegap_5.5.2" />

Bitrise output:

Discovered plugin "com.mirasense.scanditsdk.plugin" in config.xml. Adding it to the project

loading if from spec="scandit/scandit-barcodescanner-phonegap_5.5.2" gave the same result

for me cordova-plugin-statusbar failed as @ippMobile described. After checking my package.json I saw that the value for this plugin was a git url. I changed it to a version number and then Bitrise succeeded in installing that plugin.

For my local plugin I removed the file: prefix in package.json which fixed the issue for that plugin.

It completes the installation of plugins successfully now :smiley:

Thanks for reporting @stevengunneweg! :wink:

@ippMobile can you try this and let us know if it helps?

Unfortunally not, because the NewRelic don’t released any version at github, with this i cant use version in “spec” because the npm cant find it. While this feature is not resolved, i need build this manually. I will try with long way mode, using a pure Mac Machine with bitrise.

@ippMobile can you please copy paste the related bitrise.io build’s URL? We’ll need more log to be able to debug this.

For sure, https://www.bitrise.io/build/40d1728c791476ac

I have the same problem

Hello there, could you add --verbose to the Options to append to the ionic-cli build command?
so we could get some more logs and get something useful from the error? because unfortunately the issue you have is not the same as the thread opened :thinking:
