DevSpace prompts user for var provided by plugin

[JamesHutchisonCarta]

What happened?
DevSpace prompts the user for a variable that is provided by a plugin. After the user enters a value, it is ignored and the value provided by the plugin is used instead.

? Please enter a value for OPEN_COMMAND (<nil>) 

This only happens when the variable in question is missing from generated.yaml, so typically this happens only once.

What did you expect to happen instead?
DevSpace does not prompt the user for a variable provided by a plugin.

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)

Create a plugin that outputs a value in stdout.

vars:
  - name: OPEN_COMMAND
    baseArgs:
      - get_open

And of course, add it with devspace add plugin ...

My devspace.yaml:

version: v1beta11
...

commands:
  - name: open_url
    command: "${OPEN_COMMAND} 'https:...some url"

Local Environment:

• DevSpace Version: 5.18.1
• Operating System: mac
• ARCH of the OS: AMD64

@JamesHutchisonCarta thanks a lot for creating this issue! Yes seems like the variable is not retrieved correctly from the plugin and instead treated as a regular variable. We should be able to fix this for the next release.
