Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project

[justmyfreak]

I tried to follow along https://www.npmjs.org/package/generator-ionic

npm install -g generator-ionic
mkdir my-ionic-project && cd $_
yo ionic

Then I tried to cordova platform add ios and it said 'Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project'. But if I tried to grunt platform:add:ios, it works.

I tried to find solution for it and it seems that Cordova application should have .cordova directory along with config.xml and www directory should contain config.xml as well.

I copied config.xml using cp config.xml .cordova and cp config.xml www. Then run cordova platform add ios and it worked.

Is this happen to any one or just me?

What version of Cordova are you running? cordova -v I believe you might be using an older version.

All grunt does is delegate to a locally packed cordova-cli module, so using cordova directly should work.

Here's a great post by @hollyschinsky about recent changes to Cordova http://devgirl.org/2014/02/10/3-cordova-cli-changes/

I was using 3.3. I updated to 3.4 and it works well.
Thank you :)

I don't understand what the solution to this issue is. I have Cordova 3.5 installed and using cordova command itself still reports that the directory is not a cordova project

Exactly! And still not a proper solution for this. Could anyone actually give a proper setup process as this goes far beyond annoying!

Thank you.

I'm on version 3.4.1-0.1.0 and I don't have this problem again.

I am not sure if the solution to this is not related to cordova latest version. Since it is working for some, yet I was trying 4+ hours yesterday and gave up.

@dexteriti I updated my cordova version to 3.5.0-0.2.7 then created new project using ionic generator. I ran cordova command cordova platform add ios and it worked well. What is your cordova version

[sotir-ls]

@justmyfreak It's 3.5.0. I did uninstalled cordova globally and then installed it again. It doesn't even install the plugins. Keeps checking if the folder is Cordova project with no success.

[justmyfreak]

which Cordova command you run?
