Apache Cordova missing cordova.js

Question

I've got a default visual studio 2015 cordova project loaded. I've followed the post from msdn , but the project won't build.

In my Build output I have the following:

1>------ Build started: Project: EpilepTracker, Configuration: Release Android ------
1>  Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 0.12.2 (ia32) and npm.
1>  ------ Ensuring correct global installation of package from source package directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ApacheCordovaTools\packages\vs-tac

In my Javascript Language Service I have the following error:

04:13:41.7556: Reference source file successfully generated from references in project 'C:\src\epileptracker\EpilepTracker\EpilepTracker\EpilepTracker.jsproj'
04:13:41.7796: Reference group 'Implicit (Apache Cordova)' not found.

04:32:14.8630: Reference group 'Implicit (Apache Cordova)' not found.
04:32:14.9430: Referenced file 'cordova.js' not found.

From what I've read, visual studio should create the cordova.js file during build, but it doesn't. There are no errors in the Error list. I'm just trying to run a hello world project here.

In config.xml / Platforms select: Use globally installed Cordova version
