2.0 - Plugin Manager

[pflarr]

Plugin Manager

The pavilion plugin manager should find and activate all plugins, except those that are explicitly disabled in the Pavilion general config.

Plugin Types

• scheduler Plugins (#64) - Plugins that provide different schedulers to run tests under.
• system Plugins (#77) - Plugins to provide user configurable system variables for tests.
• module Wrapper Plugins (#74) - Plugins to provide wrappers for modules, to smooth out quirks in the module system, and differences between systems.
• command Plugins () - Plugins that provide pavilion commands.

Plugin Resolution

The plugin manager should handle the search and resolution of all plugin types. The search is conducted across the plugins/ directories of each available configuration directory. All found plugins are activated, unless explicitly disabled.

Disabling plugins

Plugins can be disabled via the pavilion configuration disable_plugins option. Plugins need to be disabled by <category>.<name>, such as modules.gcc or system.lustre.

Done, but still waiting on a few more modules. Tests so far are written.
