Type: bug

Platform: all

When I run ionic state reset --plugins it also resets platforms:

Sin:~/git/opennms-compass ranger$ ionic state reset --plugins
Removed platforms and plugins

This has been fixed in the latest branch. It'll be available in the next release.

Feel free to test the beta - npm install -g ionic@extlib

This seems to still happen..

+1 I'm getting this

using ionic@1.7.14 I can reproduce the opposite scenario, i.e. I run ionic state reset --platforms but it also resets plugin.

Note the first line of the output which says Removed platforms and plugins

So, while only the one passed via command line (--platforms or --plugins) is restored, both are removed

The bug is here, the removal of platforms and plugins should be separated

[jakub-g]

I sent a PR for this, it would be pretty useful to have this working.

In my use case I want to do ionic state reset --platforms as a part of a script instead of cordova platform rm android && cordova platform add android, so that the proper platform version is taken from package.json. I don't need to reset plugins, and plugin is much more costly

[jakub-g]

As a temporary fix I'm using restore instead of reset and remove things myself:

    cordova platform rm android && ionic state restore --platforms

instead of

    ionic state reset --platforms

The same problem happens with the clear command:
ionic state clear --platforms
also clears plugins, and vice versa.

The best thing to do to reset Cordova platforms & plugins is to clean out Cordova build directories and reinstall/recompile everything:

rm -rf platforms/ plugins/
ionic cordova prepare
