Patch #31110
closed
Raise an exception if the plugin directory name differs from the plugin id
Description
If the plugin directory name and the plugin id are not the same, the plugin will not work because the required files will not be read.
Example:
If you change the directory name of redmine_vividtone_my_page_blocks plugin to redmine-vividtone-my-page-blocks, the following log will be output and it will not work well.
Partial "my/blocks/new_issues" missing for block "new_issues" found in admin (id=1) preferences Partial "my/blocks/neglected_issues" missing for block "neglected_issues" found in admin (id=1) preferences Partial "my/blocks/doing_issues" missing for block "doing_issues" found in admin (id=1) preferences
The problem is hard to solve because you can not notice that the wrong directory name is the cause of the problem.
I think I should raise an exception if there is no directory with the same name as the plugin id.
I attached a patch for that.

Thank you for posting the patch. I think it would be even better if the exception has a more informative message like the following. With this message, an admin easily understands that he should rename the directory.
Plugin not found. The plugin #{p.id} should be installed in #{p.directory}.

Since the following piece of code was added:
unless File.directory?(p.directory)
raise PluginNotFound, "Plugin not found. The directory for plugin #{p.id} should be #{p.directory}."
end
This prevent Redmine plugins packed into Gem (example https://rubygems.org/gems/redmine_apijs for Redmine < 5) to work with Redmine 4.1+. It was working with Redmine 3.x and 4.0.
By removing it, this work with Redmine 4.1 / 4.2 / 5.0.

Thanks for sharing the issue.
The exception occurred because the plugin directory is located in /usr/local/bundle/gems/redmine_apijs-6.9.0 when using the redmine_apijs plugin as you mentioned.
