Error: Invalid Plugin! ../ImageDetectionCordovaPlugin needs a valid package.json

[lebars-r]

I followed the instruction wich was

git clone https://github.com/Cloudoki/ImageDetectionCordovaPlugin.git
cd <your-project-root>
cordova plugin add ../ImageDetectionCordovaPlugin

But I got the error

Error: Invalid Plugin! ../ImageDetectionCordovaPlugin needs a valid package.json

my project have been create with the command

ionic start myApp tabs

What am I doing wrong ? What it's this package.json the error talking about ? what should be inside it ? And in which folder ?

Are you using Cordova 7? If you are that might be the issue. The plugin doesn't support Cordova 7 you can try to downgrade to Cordova 6 that should work.

I use cordova v6.11.0 .
I fixed the issue by creating a package.json with the command
plugman createpackagejson .
now I am deseperatly try to use it on a ionic 3 context but no luck so far.

@lebars-r , Have you had any success in Ionic 3 with the plugin?

@lebars-r I haven't tried the plugin with Ionic 3 so I can't be of much help there but the mentioned issue was fixed. Thanks for posting how you fixed it.
