Failed to install because no package.json

Hi everyone, I am facing an issue on WIndows 10. WHen I’m adding the plugin to the project, all works fine. The plugin installs well and works well when compiled. But when I try to freshly npm install my project, I get this message : Could not install from "@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation@~3.0.3" as it does not contain a package.json

The same error occur when executing cordova platform rm/add.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I had the same issue. I also thought it was a glitch and reported it here: #596 But clearly it doesn’t happen only to me, and I could reproduce it on another machine now. The solution it to remove the "cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation": "@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation@~3.0.3", entry from the dependencies section (the entire line) of `package.json. This is added after you add a platform. @mauron85 Can you take a look at this? I think it has to do with the fact that the name of the cordova plugin and the name in npm are not the same, or it has to do with the name change as it didn’t happen before the rename.
