             Summary: Improve error for missing template
                 Key: CB-6338
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6338
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 3.4.0
            Reporter: Josh Soref
            Assignee: Josh Soref
            Priority: Minor


Today when you try to create a project using a template whose path doesn't exist (typically due to a typo), you get:
{quote}
cordova create /tmp/xxxq a a '\{"id":"id","name":"name","lib":\{"www":\{"uri":"/tmp/xxqrtc","id":"custom","version":"0"}}}'
Creating a new cordova project with name "a" and id "a" at location "/tmp/xxxq"
Using custom www assets from /tmp/xxqrtc
cp: no such file or directory: /tmp/xxqrtc/*
{quote}

The * isn't really appropriate, what doesn't exist is the template directory, not "*".
{quote}
cordova create /tmp/xxxq a a '\{"id":"id","name":"name","lib":\{"www":\{"uri":"/tmp/xxqrtc","id":"custom","version":"0"}}}'
Creating a new cordova project with name "a" and id "a" at location "/tmp/xxxq"
Using custom www assets from /tmp/xxqrtc
Could not find directory: /tmp/xxqrtc
{quote}

If people don't think this should be handled by cli, I can host the code outside it, but...
