Problems running the ripple emulator on Visual Studio 2013

Question

I am trying to run the ripple emulator on Visual Studio, however I cannot seem to get pass the cannot find module './lib/plugin'error as follows:

C:\Users[user name]\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Cordova\Cordova>call "C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\"\nodevars.bat

Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 0.10.33 (ia32) and npm. ------ Ensuring correct global installation of package from source package directory: E:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\VISUAL STUDIO\COMMON7\IDE\EXTENSIONS\FUBXMEK2.O2B\packages\vs-mda 1>MDAVSCLI : error : Cannot find module './lib/plugin'

PS: The previous error I got was cannot find module 'q' however this was resolved by running npm install from CLI.

I am trying to create a Cordova application using Visual Studio. Any ideas how I can resolve the above error?

Answer 1

It seems something went wrong while installing vs-mda, you can try following to re-install:

1. Close Visual Studio
2. Open cmd
3. npm install -g [path to vs-mda example C:\Users[user-name]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-mda]
4. npm install -g [path to vs-mda-targets example C:\Users[user-name]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-mda-targets]

OR

1. Go to Tools --> Options --> Tools for Apache Cordova --> Cordova Tools --> Clear Cordova Cache
