Yes, I did it intentionally. I wanted to ensure that the

Understood. FYI, you can specify a specific version and dub
upgrade won't touch it.
For testing I would have also liked not to build a dub project
for the PluginContract but rather have a simple iplugins.d
file in a folder. I could not get it to be imported if it's
outside of a dub project.
"importPaths": ["../PluginContract"]
Did not work for some reason. But that's a minor issue.
Becuase you specified an incomplete path:
../PluginContract/source
The compiler needs the root directory of the root package for
any imporyed module.
I meant like this:
- PluginContract // not a dub project, just some folder
-- iplugin.d
- TestApp // all files for the app (separate project)
-- packages
---- DerelictUtil-master // contains the project for derelict
-- source
---- app.d // the app
-- dub.json // the project file for the app
The only dub project would be TestApp. PluginContract would just
be some folder completely outside the TestApp dub project. I
could not get a relative path to work like this.
