Application attempts to write to /plugins

[blaky]

On startup, the application tries to read/write /plugins. If the user running the start_rp.sh script, doesn't have access to the folder, the process will crash:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'extensionsInfoContributor': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'pluginBox'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'pf4jPluginBox' defined in class path resource [com/epam/ta/reportportal/core/configs/PluginConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.epam.ta.reportportal.core.plugin.Pf4jPluginBox]: Factory method 'pf4jPluginBox' threw exception; nested exception is java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /plugins

Once I manually created the folder and granted permissions to the user running the script, the issue got resolved.

The path seems to be hardcoded at: https://github.com/reportportal/service-api/blob/develop/src/main/resources/application.yaml

Hi @Yumfriez ,

Can we get this not-hardcoded?

Hello, you can set environment variable RP_PLUGINS_ROOTDIR=
The same applies for all other configurations set in application.yaml
