* feat(plugins): automatically preload plugins This PR enables auto-preloading for plugins when they are used by an extension or extension-point. Once this change is merged plugins that were only using "preload: true" in their plugin.json for using extensions can remove it. * fix: remove unused types * fix: call `setComponentsFromLegacyExports()` after meta is initialised
Test plugins
The e2e test server automatically scans and looks for plugins in this directory.
To add a new test plugin:
- If provisioning is required you may update the YAML config file in
/devenv. - Add the plugin ID to the
allow_loading_unsigned_pluginssetting in the test server's configuration file.
Building a test plugin with webpack
If you wish to build a test plugin with webpack, you may take a look at how the grafana-extensionstest-app is wired. A few things to keep in mind:
- the package name needs to be prefixed with
@test-plugins/ - extend the webpack config from
@grafana/plugin-configsand use custom webpack config to only copy the necessary files (see example here) - keep dependency versions in sync with what's in core
