Description

Both Redmine and Engine migrations follow a strict naming convention for plugins. Problem is, depending on the repository script/plugin install might install the plugin to an incorrect directory. This causes several issues including:

  • migrations get named after the wrong plugin
  • Settings get messed up and set incorrectly

I propose adding a check to Redmine::Plugin.register to make sure that the plugin name matches the installation directory.

Example:

# Required to be installed in vendor/plugins/budget_plugin
Redmine::Plugin.register :budget_plugin  

# Requires to be installed in vendor/plugins/embedded
Redmine::Plugin.register :embedded
