One potential issue is if the directory is somewhere where Prosody can't write, but then you will simply have to create it yourself with the appropriate permissions. diff -r 0d932bf3a0f7 -r c022b582d312 util/startup.lua --- a/util/startup.lua Thu Jan 21 23:38:44 2021 +0100 +++ b/util/startup.lua Sun Jan 24 15:57:48 2021 +0100 @@ -271,8 +271,6 @@ local path_sep = package.config:sub(3,3); -- TODO Figure out what this should be relative to, because CWD could be anywhere installer_plugin_path = config.resolve_relative_path(require "lfs".currentdir(), installer_plugin_path); - -- TODO Can probably move directory creation to the install command - require "lfs".mkdir(installer_plugin_path); require"util.paths".complement_lua_path(installer_plugin_path); -- luacheck: ignore 111 CFG_PLUGINDIR = installer_plugin_path..path_sep..(CFG_PLUGINDIR or "plugins");
