Adding a CocoaPod in cordova-ios 4.3.0 makes build fail

[R2D221]

There's a new function in Cordova iOS where you can add CocoaPods from the config.xml file. This is fine and all, but the build fails on an unrelated note.

Adding a CocoaPod triggers an event.emit('verbose', message) call which ultimately leads to logFormatHelper.ts to choose a format for the 'verbose' style. The problem is, there's no 'verbose' style, so the build fails with the error:

TypeError colors[style] is not a function

The solution, of course, is to add the corresponding style.

Just for the record, here's the full error log:

Thanks for the detailed report!

Our team member also faced this issue.
He got the same error message while using the Visual Studio remote building feature.
But building on the mac, the building is smoothly and no error or exception.

Is there a solution to solve this issue?

It Seems that logFormatHelper.js has some problem!

Is there an update on this, or is there a workaround. I opened this issue against the pushplugin. but it seems it's not a push plugin issus.

@R2D221 How you fix this issue?

[MSLaguana]

We've just published an updated taco-utils package which should have a fix for this thanks to @powdernine. To get the fix, you will need to clear out ~/.taco_home/node-modules/taco-remote-lib, then the next build you perform should download an updated version with the new taco-utils dependency.
