Command "cordova" failed with exit code: null

bernhard

I have installed cordova as described in the docs. I am on Kubuntu 19.04. When running

quasar mode add cordova

I get

app:mode-cordova Creating Cordova source folder... +0ms
 app:spawn [sync] Running "cordova create src-cordova com.example.app Example " +1ms


 app:spawn ⚠️  Command "cordova" failed with exit code: null +0ms
 app:spawn ⚠️  Please globally install "cordova" +0ms
 app:mode-cordova ⚠️  There was an error trying to install Cordova support

Then I tried the command directly

cordova create src-cordova com.example.app Example

and it worked. It created the src-cordova folder. Not sure why quasar mode add cordova not working.

I added android with cd src-cordova && cordova platform add android and afterwards cordova requirements is working.

Now I run quasar dev -m cordova -T android I get

 DONE  Compiled successfully in 3971ms                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 17:32:44

@bernhard the log says Please globally install "cordova", maybe you only have it installed locally. you are on cordova mode, it should be running in a device or emulator.

Thanks for your reply!

First of all - I have updated the question with more infos about the problem.

And no, cordova is installed globally:

npm list -g --depth 0 | grep cordova
├── cordova@9.0.0

I reinstalled node with nvm and it worked.
