Cordova requirements crash with "Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined"

See original GitHub issue

Version used: 5.0.3 and 5.0.4

After running:

cordova requierements

it prints:

$ cordova requirements -d

Checking opts.platforms  :
PlatformApi successfully found for platform browser
PlatformApi successfully found for platform ios

Requirements check results for browser:
Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined

After adding some logs on cordova/clj.js I was able to see an undefined in the platformChecks from https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/blob/master/src/cli.js#L375:

Debug-Values: browser undefined
Debug-Values: ios [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Any idea if this is caused by this plugin or by my configuration?

(Which reminds me we should just make sure that a .gitignore is generated for new projects: https://github.com/apache/cordova-app-hello-world/issues/30)

@janpio tried from master and it prints:

But it looks like master is behind 8.1.2 (older than npm repository one)

Have the same error with 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1). In my case, an error appeared after removing all the platforms and adding an old android@5.1
