[Error: Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project.]

Question

I created a Phonegap project according to instructions, checked it into SVN, checked it out and then discovered I could no longer run the build command--necessary to have ch

Answer 1

Make sure you are in your project directory. I made this mistake.

Answer 2

In a new directory, I just typed

cordova create . 

and that created the .cordova directory as required. Then copy into that directory the phonegap files you want to use.

Answer 3

When i am creating my project, I got a same error too. You need to enter into the folder what you create before.

cd exampleapp

Answer 4

Doing some searching, I found quite a few complaints about the PhoneGap documentation, but eventually figured this out on my own.

when creating a project, a hidden .cordova folder is created with some project information. For whatever reason, this didn't go into the repository the first time. I copied it over to the checked-out version and fortunately, now Cornerstone sees it and will let me check it into SVN so other team members will not run into this issue.

If you get this error, there's probably a problem with the hidden .cordova folder inside your project folder. Either recreate the project in PhoneGap, or copy it over if you have another version of that same project.

Answer 5

Wrong path!!

go to your workspace and run code again.

Answer 6

Yes as others have stated already you need to check into your SVN a few config files and folders in order to make PhoneGap work when you check it out. This is what defines a PhoneGap project:

• Has a .cordova directory, with a config.json inside.
• Has a www directory, with a config.xml inside.
• Has a platforms directory.

I found that with that in place you can use PhoneGap commands without problems. If you need to see an example of those config files, just run phonegap create myapp.
