bug: [Cap 3 beta] cap init fails in Cordova project with config.xml file

[dotNetkow]

Bug Report

Capacitor Version

3.0.0-beta.3

Current Behavior

Add Capacitor 3 to an existing Cordova project (this demo app) with a valid config.xml file then run npx cap init.

After answering all prompts:

• name = demo-authconnect-auth0
• package id = io.ionic.demo.ac.auth0
• web asset dir = www

it fails with: [error] Unable to read: [local path]/demo-authconnect-auth0/config.xml
and capacitor.config.json is not created.

Expected Behavior

The init command should complete successfully.

Code Reproduction

Clone this repo: https://github.com/ionic-team/demo-authconnect-auth0

Other Technical Details

npm --version output: 6.14.6
node --version output: v14.5.5

Interesting, I can reproduce with beta 3, but not with the local copy that should be exactly the same. @dwieeb thoughts?
In fact, I can reproduce with all the betas.
