Cordova plugin installation with plugman fails

Question

Following the phonegap tutorial [1], I'm trying to install a cordova plugin (using the latest plugman v1.3.0 [2]). It fails with the following error:

C:\Android-dev\cordova-android\bin\HybridAndroidApp>plugman install --platform android --project . --plugin nl.x-services.plugins.toast
Notice: nl.x-services.plugins.toast has been automatically converted to cordova-plugin-x-toast and fetched from npm. This is due to our old plugins registry shutting down.
Fetching plugin "cordova-plugin-x-toast" via npm

I found there was a recent issue with cordova-lib: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg70264.html

I just installed plugman using npm. I'm lost how to continue using the fixed plugman (if it got fixed). I appreciate a lot your help.

Thanks!

The bug-fix is now under developement: forums.adobe.com/message/8937772. We will just have to wait ... — Hugo
