Error generating app - "Malformed Comment"

When generating an android app with a plugin I developed, I obtain the following error:


No scripts found for hook "before_plugin_add".

Calling plugman.fetch on plugin "https://github.com/ruption-lda/ruption-ar-cordova-plugin.git"

 fetch: Installing https://github.com/ruption-lda/ruption-ar-cordova-plugin.git to /var/lib/builder/builds/0ef2e8ae-548b-48aa-ab11-225c2030063f/source

Does anyone have an idea of where is the error from? I've checked every file for an uncommented line but there were none.

Solution

  • You have a "start comment" inside another comment section in plugin.xml, on line 97, where it says WikitudePlugin Source:

     <!-- iOS --> <!--
<platform name="ios">
            
            
    <!-- WikitudePlugin Source --

    In future, you could run any xml validator against your plugin.xml, and it would have told you so (as did sax.js in your error report, it was just one line off).
