When trying to fetch the plugin after saving it to config.xml, it gives 404

Hi,

I have a problem in fetching the plugin after adding the plugin and saving it for the first time using ionic plugin add wifiwizard --save.

This will result to add <plugin name="com.pylonproducts.wifiwizard" spec="0.2.11" /> in config.xml .

However, if you tried to fetch the plugin using the saved entry, npm gives the following error:

Failed to restore plugin "com.pylonproducts.wifiwizard" from config.xml. You might need to try adding it again. Error: Failed to fetch plugin com.pylonproducts.wifiwizard@0.2.11 via registry.

Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.

Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

Error: Registry returned 404 for GET on https://registry.npmjs.org/com.pylonproducts.wifiwizard

My assumption is a mismatch between the plugin ID and npm ID. Therefore, it should be ionic plugin add com.pylonproducts.wifiwizard when installing the plugin instead of ionic plugin add wifiwizard.

Also encountered this error today while removing platform and re-adding the platforms to reset platforms.

@yazantahhan Did you find any solution to this issue?

Seems related: #61

@danishin What I did as a workaround that I changed the plugin name from com.pylonproducts.wifiwizard to wifiwizard.
<plugin name="wifiwizard" spec="0.2.11" />
This will fetch the plugin correctly until they fix the naming issue.

I was using forked version of wifiwizard to merge bug fixes. And the above didn't work for me because of it (?), I think.

So I just modified package.json and published my package at https://www.npmjs.com/package/com.danishin.wifiwizard. As the main repo doesn't seem to be maintained anymore.

Anyway, thanks for the note :)

the problem solved for me you need to run those commands as follow:
1- run npm uninstall com.pylonproducts.wifiwizard
2- run npm uninstall wifiwizard
3- remove "com.pylonproducts.wifiwizard": {} from cordova in package.json file
4- leave the plugin as it is in the config.xml file
5- run ionic cordova plugin add wifiwizard
