Hi,
The plugins which a project.conf declares as "local" (loaded from a project
directory), cannot be accessed by any other project (in bst1), they cannot be
override plugins in a subproject or be accessed from another junctioning
project.
Plugin names are also not forced to be unique across loaded projects.
In BuildStream 2, the project summary printed in advance of the build is
very meticulous about describing the origins of each plugin which was loaded as
a consequence of loading the build graph, this was more necessary since with
BuildStream 2 you can use/load plugins from subprojects across junctions.
Do I understand correctly that:
* You have a plugin named "foo" in project A
* You have another plugin also named "foo" in project B which junctions
project A
* When building elements in project B, different "foo" plugins will be
used in project A and project B, and this is confusing
Would more elaborate information about the loaded projects and what plugins
are being loaded in each project (similar to how we log in bst2) be helpful
here ?
Here is an example of the loaded project information at the beginning of the
build log in bst2 for reference:
