Cordova - Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project

Question

I\'m using phonegap for my mobile project. My question is why I got this error when I try to search phonegap plugin using cordova CLI? I run this command in terminal to sear

Answer 1

I also had the same problem. i had an angular project. then created a cordova app inside called mobile

cordova create mobile

Then i tried to run

cordova platform add android

Which gave me the same error 'Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project'.

Solution : i have to go to the mobile folder ( from the command prompt cd mobile ) then i had to run the command there. Also there had to be a www folder in that mobile folder

Answer 2

Create www folder on root directory. If still it's a issue check ionic info and try to upgrade

Answer 3

You have to be in a project before you launch cordova plugin search bar code.

Answer 4

This may be silly but in my case it was the config.xml file.

I usually create it dynamically using a script, therefor it wasn't there after I cloned the repo. Ran the script to re-create it and everything worked again.

Answer 5

ionic integrations enable --add

then run the

ionic build

it will add all the necessary files

Answer 6

Happened to me also, probably from npm/node updates.

Worked for me the following:

npm install -g cordova

ionic cordova platform list
