Can't install Cordova plugins from Git on CLI


It seems there is a bug in git source dependencies on Windows.

Try to create the directory manually :

mkdir C:\Users\DAVIDH~1\AppData\Local\Temp\plugman\git

Then :

git clone https://github.com/danwilson/google-analytics-plugin.git

From there : https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/895

EDIT

I removed the numerical extension, which is not needed, to follow the remark from FugueWeb

UPDATE (From Sept 2014)

As noted in Daren Beale's answer and also in the issue linked above, this bug is fixed in Git 1.9.4. Downloading the latest version of GIT for Windows should get around this problem.


I had this exact issue on my desktop but not on my laptop, as suggested above it look like a Git issue. Installing the latest version of Git on my desktop (1.9.4) fixed the problem.


I was experiencing a similar issue while issuing the commands from cygwin, cygwin's temp folder structure is a bit different

Manually creating the parent folders (plugman and git), which doesn't exist, fixes the issue (the numbered folders can be created under the plugman/git folders later on)
