Template directory on read-only filesystem makes cordova crash

[Ekleog]

Hey! I've been trying to use cordova for a few hours, and am hitting a small issue.

Anyway, thank you for all the work you put into it!

Bug Report

Problem

What is expected to happen?

If the template directory of cordova is on a read-only filesystem, I expect cordova create or cordova platform add to work and chmod the files so that they become read-writable by me

What does actually happen?

Instead, cordova doesn't chmod the files, then tries to write to them and errors out.

Information

I'm using NixOS, and this is the reason why my template directory is on a read-only filesystem: cordova as a whole is on a read-only filesystem. So the reproducer will be using nix, that can that said be installed on other OSes too.

This is easy to work around for cordova create, but cordova platform add is a bit harder to work around. The repro is also more complex so I'm not writing it down, but it should be the same fix anyway: after copying from a template directory cordova would need to chmod u+w the files

Command or Code

Reproducer:

[/tmp]$ nix-shell -I channel:nixos-unstable -p nodePackages.cordova
[nix-shell:/tmp]$ cordova create test
Creating a new cordova project.
EACCES: permission denied, open '/tmp/test/config.xml'

Environment, Platform, Device

Running cordova create on NixOS.

Version information

Cordova CLI 11.0.0
