Hi! 馃憢

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 馃檪

Today I used patch-package to patch cordova-electron@3.0.0 for the project I'm working on.

Without that I observed that quite often (3 of 5) a clean run (platform with plugins readded) of project with local plugin with several frameworks with clashing dependency lists fails on some random error in regards to imports from node modules.
Each time I found some installed packages with missing files.

Sample error:

2021-10-07 17:07:05.078] [error] UncaughtException on origin uncaughtException Error: Cannot find module './utf8'

The source of problem seems to be asynchroncity of execa.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

I have a related problem, but the proposed solution does not fix it.

To reproduce my scenario, you need a plugin that support electron and another platform (I'm using android). The electron part needs to use a framework entry. Then the steps are:

  1. create a new cordova project
  2. add the 2 platforms supported by your plugin
  3. add the plugin
  4. rm -rf platforms plugins
  5. cordova prepare android (use the other platform instead of android if you didn't use android)
  6. cordova prepare electron

The suggested fix does not help, because at that point platforms/electron/www does not exist yet. So the npm command fails. Creating the directory does not help, because package.json would be missing anyway.

If you think this is a different issue, I'm happy to open a separate issue.
