4-space XML output about cordova-set-version HOT 2 CLOSED

so.. this was all in the interest of trying to not incur unnecessary line changes for source control. in chasing this goal (with my forked version), I've discovered a few other niggly issues..

running cordova-set-version:

• inserts a single space before each closing tag, changing <tag prop="value"/> to <tag prop="value" />
• updates all strings to use quotation marks "

whereas running ionic cordova build immediately after this:

• removes the space before each closing tag, changing <tag prop="value" /> back to <tag prop="value"/>
• updates all strings to use apostrophes '

I should probably also mention that I'm attempting to replace a manual "update" script that I had created, which simply updates config.xml with string replacements, rather than parsing each node and generating a new output file.

in which case, this issue might actually be barking at the wrong tree.. I'll give it some more thought over the weekend and see what I come up with.

yesterday I decided to simply clean up my "manual config.xml update" script, which turns out to suite my needs far better than this. for anybody interested, it's hosted as a snippet in my work GitLab profile.

with that said, my script (and I believe a few other "Cordova version updater" pacages) make use of the already-installed cordova-common package, instantiating a ConfigParser instance with a config.xml file path, and thereby allowing programmatic access to the config as an object.

this might be worth looking into for cordova-set-version as well then, so when I'm done with my day-job coding, I'll look into adjusting this package and see what comes of it. :)

in the meantime, I don't think this issue has much of a future, so I'm closing it off with this comment.
