My builds have mysteriously started failing because my cordova plugins are not getting installed. This is what the installation logs look like for each plugin:

> (node:4558) [DEP0128] DeprecationWarning: Invalid ‘main’ field in ‘/Users/vagrant/git/node\_modules/objectorarray/package.json’ of ‘dist/index.js’. Please either fix that or report it to the module author

(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)

No scripts found for hook “before\_plugin\_add”.

Calling plugman.fetch on plugin “[GitHub - CodeWithOz/cordova-plugin-googlemaps: Google Maps plugin for Cordova](https://github.com/CodeWithOz/cordova-plugin-googlemaps#feature-exclude-nodes)”

Command finished with error code 0: npm install,[GitHub - CodeWithOz/cordova-plugin-googlemaps: Google Maps plugin for Cordova](https://github.com/CodeWithOz/cordova-plugin-googlemaps#feature-exclude-nodes,--production,--save-exact)

Failed to fetch plugin [GitHub - CodeWithOz/cordova-plugin-googlemaps: Google Maps plugin for Cordova](https://github.com/CodeWithOz/cordova-plugin-googlemaps#feature-exclude-nodes) via registry.

Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.

Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

Could not determine package name from output:

added 3 packages, and audited 588 packages in 14s

The last build that worked was almost exactly 2 days ago from now, and I didn’t change anything in the build process. Did something change on bitrise, like the default nodejs version or something else?
