Problem

Plugins are commonly symlinked into a project during local development (e.g. to work on a plugin from its own repository). The asset PackageManager resolves each compilable package to its realpath via PathResolver::resolve(), which for a symlinked plugin points outside base_path().

PackageManager assumes every package lives under the project root, so:

  • the base_path() existence check fails and the package is silently skipped (never registered), and
  • even if registered, Vite/Mix build the manifest/hot path and the served asset URL from that path — outside the document root, so the browser can't fetch the compiled assets.

Net effect: Vite/Mix packages inside a symlinked plugin are dropped and their assets never load, so the plugin renders unstyled despite being enabled.

Fix

  • Autoregistration now resolves each plugin's in-project path from getVendorAndPluginNames() (which honours symlinks under the plugins directory) instead of getPluginPath()'s realpath.
  • registerPackage() keeps the in-project location when a symlink resolves outside base_path() but the original (symbolized) path is inside it — so the package registers and its compiled assets serve from a web-accessible path.

Tests

Adds PackageManagerTest covering:

  • in-project package registration (base-path-relative path retained),
  • symlinked-package registration (in-project path retained, not the realpath),
  • missing-path registration still throws.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved plugin discovery for packages located within the project.
    • Preserved web-accessible paths for symlinked packages, ensuring assets continue to load correctly.
    • Added validation to reject missing package paths.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for in-project packages, symlinked package paths, and missing package handling.

Plugins are commonly symlinked into a project during local development (e.g. to
work on a plugin from its own repository). The asset PackageManager resolved
each compilable package to its realpath via PathResolver::resolve(), which for a
symlinked plugin points outside base_path(). The resulting path was neither
registerable (the base_path() existence check failed) nor web-servable (compiled
assets live outside the document root), so Vite/Mix packages inside symlinked
plugins were silently skipped and their assets never loaded.

Resolve plugin packages from the in-project path reported by
getVendorAndPluginNames() (which honours symlinks under the plugins directory),
and in registerPackage() keep the in-project location when a symlink resolves
outside base_path() but the original (symbolized) path is inside it.

Adds PackageManagerTest covering in-project registration, symlinked-package
registration, and the missing-path error.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

PackageManager now prefers project-local plugin paths during autodiscovery. Package registration preserves project-local paths when symlink resolution points outside base_path(). New tests cover direct registration, symlinked packages, cleanup and unsupported symlink creation, and missing package paths.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d12e5

Symlinked plugins discovered automatically can use the project-visible path, but packages registered through plugin callbacks may still resolve to an external path, preventing their compiled assets from loading. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Use PathResolver::within() for both containment checks.

Lines 319-321 implement path containment with str_starts_with(). Replace both checks with PathResolver::within() so the resolver owns containment and normalization semantics.

As per coding guidelines, use PathResolver::within() for path containment checks instead of prefix checks such as str_starts_with($path, $root).

Use PathResolver::join() for new path composition.

These locations compose paths with string concatenation. Use PathResolver::join() so Storm handles separators and normalization consistently.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Apply the in-project mapping before plugin callback registration.

Lines 103-108 still pass PluginManager::getPluginPath() to registerPackage(). For a plugin symlinked into the project, that path is already the external realpath. registerPackage() cannot recover the in-project link path from it.

Build $inProjectPluginPaths before the compiler loop. Use it for both callback package registration and autodiscovery. Add a regression test for a symlinked plugin that defines registerVitePackages().
