Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

If I change the script to`

call npm install -g cordova@6

it works fine. ➡️ with cordova 6 everything works

Its also an issue for Mac

[ohh2ahh]

That's because package.json is missing. The PR #27 will fix this.

[die20]

Yea I just came across that, when can we get the PR approved? No conflicts and has been sitting in limbo for 11 days...

I suggest we all start using this fork https://github.com/ibnclaudius/CordovaClipboard since it contains the fix

I am currently having troubles installing this on -v 7.0.1, I am using the link you posted and not having any luck.

Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/ibnclaudius/CordovaClipboard 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

If you could shed a little light on my problem I would be very happy.

Hi @mwoeber, can you please advise the command you are using to install?

[stevesum]

use: *cordova plugin add .... --nofetch* to install the plugins in Cordova 7 as it is defined in the cordova 7 documentation https://cordova.apache.org/news/2017/05/04/cordova-7.html 2017-09-13 20:26 GMT+02:00 Jacques de Villiers <[email protected]>:
