Normally for plugins in pencilblue when the file details.json refers the main module like this:

"main_module": { "path": "pencilblue.js" },

I am expecting to see the file pencilblue.js in the same directory as the file details.json.

But for the pencilblue plugin which is supposed to be a plugin like the others the file pencilblue.js is not present in the same directory . For all other plugins when the main_module refers a file I can find it in the same directory.

What did i miss and how this one is different ?

thanks for your support.

The github repo for pencilblue just in case: https://github.com/pencilblue/pencilblue the plugin directory is right there.

thanks

So, while the answer is certainly not intuitive, I believe it makes some sense: pencilblue is the core plugin which is required to make everything work. Unlike other plugins, the core PencilBlue plugin references at a root level. The file details.json is looking for in this case is the pencilblue.js on the root level of the repo. I am not certain about the underlying reason for building the plugin in this manner, but knowing the application is non-functional makes the root-level reference a bit less of mystery.
