10/14/2021, 7:12 AMThat is all good, but I thought the plugins were installed together with the SDKs, or do we need to install the plugins manually? I feel like we sometimes need to install the plugin and sometimes they are just there, so I think some clarification on how it is working (or should be working) would be really nice 🙂

10/14/2021, 11:08 AMTrying to clarify. I can't recall having to install plugins manually when running locally on my machine, but when running the automation application on kubernetes we are asked to install the plugins.

10/14/2021, 11:20 AMwe sort of see that all the time I would say. So I'll file a bug for it.

10/14/2021, 11:31 AMgot it... We built the application and then copied the app to a container, that will of course not include the plugins since they aren't installed in the application folder.
