Copy-from rich-notification sample app in Windows infinite loop about mobile-chrome-apps

It looks like a couple of people have been hit with this now.

It sounds like a bug in the recursive copy step; I could see this happening if you tried to run cca from inside the sample app's folder, but I'll run a couple of tests to be sure it can happen that way.

What argument are you passing to --copy-from ? Is it a relative or absolute path? And where is the directory you are running cca from, relative to the sample app you're copying?

That sounds like it could definitely be it. If I recall, I was running it from inside, and so I was using a relative path to the manifest file. I would have been in the same directory. I should have thought about running it from the parent.

When I'm able, I will rerun those tests and confirm, but I can say with near certainty that's how I was doing it.

We should be handling that case better; at least printing an error, if we can't do something sensible.

I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5947 to track the underlying Cordova issue; I'll put similar logic into cca to detect the condition and warn/error when trying to create a project from inside the sample directory.
