Insomnia: [Bug] Plugin dependencies' dependencies not installed correctly

[LesterCovax]

• Insomnia Version: 6.5.4
• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro, 1903

Details

I installed insomnia-plugin-regex via the _Preferences/Plugins_ tab without issue, but ran into issues when installing the insomnia-plugin-os plugin. It complains that it cannot fine the esprima module. I tracked down the dependencies of insomnia-plugin-os (LINK), which is the NPM module jsonpath. I then tracked down the dependencies of jsonpath (LINK), which finally revealed the esprima dependency (along with 2 others).

Error output below:

Hmm, that's strange, I get the same error on macOS. I have a feeling it's maybe a limitation of using the bundled version of Yarn within Insomnia. You can get around this for now by manually running the install command within the plugins folder:

npm install insomnia-plugin-os

When I run npm install insomnia-plugin-os in my ~/Library/Application Support/Insomnia/plugins directory, nothing happens. Well, something happens, but nothing _useful_. To wit:

It creates a ~/package-lock.json and ~/node_modules, but does not otherwise do anything to the plugins/ directory.

Same problem here.

`Failed to install insomnia-plugin-os

There may be an issue with the plugin itself, as a note you can discover and install plugins from the Plugin Hub.

If you run npm install insomnia-plugin-os within the /plugins directory, then go into the plugins list within Insomnia and hit "Reload Plugins", this should work. I was able to reproduce the installation error on macOS (it should be looked at and fixed), but I was also able to install it directly into the directory as a workaround for now.

Worked, Thank you so much. $ ~/.config/Insomnia/plugins
