What this PR does / why we need it:
For datasource plugins that are nested within an app, today they are required to specify their executable plugin.json field as a file path in parent plugin's folder. (Zabbix, Twinmaker). I don't think we need to be so restrictive, especially since it causes issues with reading these paths on Windows.
Now you can either specify the nested executable field as
../gpx_foo
orgpx_foo
- both of which will have the same effect. The plan once this PR is merged is that we can remove path information from plugins that are using it - which will fix the issue of building on Windows.Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #980.
Special notes for your reviewer:
There's also a test for backwards compatibility.
