CLI 8.0.1-dev (cordova-lib@9.0.0-dev) can't install local platforms (iOS, Android)
See original GitHub issueCurrently fighting my way through https://github.com/apache/cordova-mobile-spec and using https://github.com/apache/cordova-coho to get everything locally - which means I am working with master of everything.
C:\Projects\throwaway\mobilespecAndroid (helloworld@1.0.0)
λ cordova -v
8.0.1-dev (cordova-lib@9.0.0-dev)
Now I am having problems with installing the Android platform from a local folder (../cordova-android is the master checkout of cordova-android):
C:\Projects\throwaway\mobilespecAndroid (helloworld@1.0.0)
λ cordova platform add ../cordova-android --verbose
Warning: using prerelease version 8.0.1-dev (cordova-lib@9.0.0-dev)
No scripts found for hook "before_platform_add".

Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
