cordova config ls returns Error: ENOENT on clean install

See original GitHub issue

Bug Report

Problem

The configstore dependency was upgraded from 2.1.0 to 4.0.0 in #312. However, as of v4.0.0 configstore no longer creates a configuration file when a config is read (yeoman/configstore#57). This causes cordova config ls to return Error: ENOENT if cordova-config.json is missing (e.g. on a clean install).

What is expected to happen?

The command shouldn’t return an error (behavior of 8.1.2):

$ rm ~/.config/configstore/cordova-config.json
$ cordova config ls
$

What does actually happen?

The command returns Error: ENOENT:

$ rm ~/.config/configstore/cordova-config.json
$ cordova config ls
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/ltm/.config/configstore/cordova-config.json'
$

@mobileben seems like manually creating the file .config/configstore/cordova-config.json with content {} suppresses the error.

The issue has been fixed, but there hasn’t been a release with the fix yet. That’s why you still see this.
