[Bug] Plugin dependencies' dependencies not installed correctly

• 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:

insomnia-plugin-os install error: Command failed: “C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\insomnia\app-6.5.4\Insomnia.exe” --no-deprecation C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\insomnia\app-6.5.4\resources\bin\yarn-standalone.js add insomnia-plugin-os --modules-folder C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\insomnia_6.5.4\insomnia-plugin-os-1564098003065 --cwd C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\insomnia_6.5.4\insomnia-plugin-os-1564098003065 --no-lockfile --production --no-progress error C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\insomnia_6.5.4\insomnia-plugin-os-1564098003065\jsonpath: Command failed.

For windows 10-11 users

npm install insomnia-plugin-os

Then the plugin you want to install for example in my case insomnia-plugin-xdebug

npm install insomnia-plugin-xdebug

Go to C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\node_modules

cut 3 folders

Open Insomnia->Application->Preferences->Plugins

Press Reveal Plugins Folder

Paste copied items

Open Insomnia->Application->Preferences->Plugins

Press Reload Plugins

That’s it!

Good luck!

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:

➜ npm install insomnia-plugin-os

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