I have followed theese instructions.

  • installed plugman (command didnt work, so I added this C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cordova\node_modules.bin to PATH to make 'plugman' command work in cmd).

  • after getting plugman command to work (it's help was working in console), Ive entered the camera api command:

    plugman --platform android --project c:/path/to/app --plugin https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-camera.git

the output was:

undefined is not a function

what did I do wrong?

I've found an answer on phonegap google group.

To make this work, you need to install git console and then download the plugin with command:

phonegap local plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-camera.git

The is a bug that was recently submitted and fixed.

You basically need Git installed, yes, but for plugman to work in "cmd.exe" (or any non-Git CLI) you need to have Git/bin in your system path.

Taken from my blog (http://atomicstructure.net/blog/2013/07/phonegap-3-0-troubles):

Click Start, right-click Computer then select Properties. Click Advanced System Settings (top-left) then Environment Variables in the Advanced tab.

Under System variables find the variable called Path and edit that to include the full system path to where Git is installed. So for example, mine now reads:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%; [snip] ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin

With the all important bit highlighted in bold. As with Ant and Android Development Tools, you'll need to include the /bin subfolder, too.
