i installed ubuntu 14.04 , can not run application using "cordova run ubuntu", gives following error :

paulo@paulo-notebook:~/hello$ sudo cordova run ubuntu referenceerror: name not defined     @ object.configparser.setdescription (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/src/configparser.js:70:45)     @ object.module.exports.update_from_config (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/src/metadata/ubuntu_parser.js:74:21)     @ object.module.exports.update_project (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/src/metadata/ubuntu_parser.js:156:21)     @ /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/src/prepare.js:113:31     @ _fulfilled (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:798:54)     @ self.promisedispatch.done (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:827:30)     @ promise.promise.promisedispatch (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:760:13)     @ /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:821:14     @ flush (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:108:17)     @ process._tickcallback (node.js:415:13) 

and earlier gives following error when doing "cordova platform add ubuntu"

does know can ?

this javascript bug of cordova can fix following next steps

$ sudo vim /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/src/configparser.js 

go line 69. here you'll find this:

setdescription: function() {     this.doc.find('description').text = name;     var el = findorcreate(this.doc, 'description'); }, 

the problem in line 70 caused variable called name: undefined. fix bug need add name input parameter of setdescription function, this:

setdescription: function(name) {     this.doc.find('description').text = name;     var el = findorcreate(this.doc, 'description'); }, 

save changes. since ubuntu platform has been added - assume incorrectly - should go platforms directory of cordova project , delete ubuntu directory

$ cd ~/hello/platforms $ rm -r ubuntu 

now need rerun:

$ cordova platform add ubuntu 

finally should run without errors.
