gradle args cdvBuildToolsVersion is not correctly honoured

Bug Report

Problem

What is expected to happen?

It is expected for Cordova use the specified build tools version via cdvBuildToolsVersion gradle parameter if the parameter is defined.

What does actually happen?

Cordova does use it, but now passes it through findLatestInstalledBuildTools call, effectively turning the parameter into a "minimum build tools version" parameter instead of a "build tools version" parameter.

Information

This behaviour changed from cordova-android@9.1 where if cdvBuildToolsVersion was defined, it will simply use it. See 9.1

Further investigation notes are written: #1288 (comment) where this issue was first identified.

Command or Code

Have build tools version 30 & 31 installed. Building Build tools version 31 as described here

Then run: cordova build android --release -- --gradleArg=-PcdvBuildToolsVersion=30.0.3

It is expected that cordova will use build tools version 30.0.3 instead of build tools 31.

Environment, Platform, Device

Android

Version information

That is unrelated.

The comment you referenced is in response to an issue where cdvBuildToolsVersion is not defined.

This issue is when cdvBuildToolsVersion is defined, but Cordova still decides to choose the latest installed anyway.

Can someone publish 10.0.1 to npm?
