Error updating config for platform 'android': platforms is not defined

[MehdiZonjy]

Hi

I'm getting this error on an empty project targeting android after adding cordova-custom-config plugin.

cordova-custom-config: Skipping auto-restore of config file backup(s)
cordova-custom-config: Error updating config for platform 'android': platforms is not defined

Steps To Reproduce

1.create new project

> cordova  create demo-cordova
Creating a new cordova project.

2.Add Android platform

> cordova platform add android
Adding android project...
Creating Cordova project for the Android platform:
        Path: platforms\android
        Package: io.cordova.hellocordova
        Name: HelloCordova
        Activity: MainActivity
        Android target: android-23
Android project created with cordova-android@5.1.1
Discovered plugin "cordova-plugin-whitelist" in config.xml. Adding it to the project
Fetching plugin "cordova-plugin-whitelist@1" via npm
Installing "cordova-plugin-whitelist" for android

               This plugin is only applicable for versions of cordova-android greater than 4.0. If you have a previous platform version, you do *not* need this plugin since the whitelist will be built in.

3. Add plugin

> cordova plugin add https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-custom-config
Fetching plugin "https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-custom-config" via git clone
Repository "https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-custom-config" checked out to git ref "master".
Installing "cordova-custom-config" for android
cordova-custom-config: Installing plugin dependencies...

4. Run

> cordova run android
cordova-custom-config: Skipping auto-restore of config file backup(s)
cordova-custom-config: Error updating config for platform 'android': platforms is not defined

Oops, seems like this was introduced by pull request #59 - that'll teach me to publish changes from a pull request without testing them first :-(
I'll fix + publish a patch release as cordova-custom-config@2.0.2

[dpa99c]

cordova-custom-config@2.0.2 published to npm - should fix this issue

I've been pulling my hair for the past two hours trying to figure out what happened, thanks for the quick response ^^

Hi, I am getting cordova-custom-config: Skipping auto-restore of config file backup(s) while trying to run this with Metero 1.6.1.1 and Meteor 1.7. Any ideas please?

[dpa99c]

@adamgins it's just a log message indicating the autobackups of platform config files are not being restored because autobackup isn't enabled

[adamgins]

@dpa99c thanks

Trying to workout why my Meteor/Android app stops after starting ... a bit stumped. It seems like the key issue is device not ready after 5 seconds but not real clear on which log message would indicate what's actually wrong. The app runs fine on iOS. Any help appreciated.
