Bug Report

Problem

Since 3.0.2 cordova prepare android leads to this error (at least for us):

Installing "cordova-plugin-screen-orientation" for android
Failed to install 'cordova-plugin-screen-orientation': Error: Expected plugin to have ID "es6-promise-plugin" but got "cordova-plugin-screen-orientation".

Setting the version to 3.0.1 fixes the problem for us.

The error above.

This works for me: npm i es6-promise-plugin

Thanks @Stephane84, that is really strange. But at least we know it is not caused by the new version. What CLI version are you using?

cordova CLI 8.0.0

node 6.9.5 npm 5.6.0 ionic CLI 3.20.0

I had a similar issue today, but not with same version. cordova-android@6.4.0 cordova-plugin-screen-orientation 3.0.1 (not 3.0.2) cordova CLI 8.0.0

i obtain the same stack for ‘cordova prepare android’ during plugin research :

changing to cordova-plugin-screen-orientation 3.0.2 solve the problem. Strange…

(I renamed the issue to reflect the problem better - this way we can keep it open and investigate further.)
