The issue was that installed plugins (calculator, clock_widget, etc.)
could not import 'plugins.base_plugin' because the plugins package
wasn't properly in Python's module path when loading via
spec_from_file_location.
FIX:
1. Added project root to sys.path so 'plugins' package is findable
2. Added _ensure_plugins_package() method to preload plugins module
3. Modified discover_plugins() to try normal import first
4. Added proper error logging with traceback for debugging
This ensures installed plugins can properly import BasePlugin
from plugins.base_plugin as expected.
The base_plugin.py was removed from plugins/ folder during cleanup
but is still needed by core/plugin_manager.py and built-in plugins.
CHANGES:
- Restored base_plugin.py from plugin repo to core/base_plugin.py
- Updated imports in core/plugin_manager.py
- Updated imports in core/plugin_manager_optimized.py
- Updated imports in plugins/settings/plugin.py
- Updated imports in plugins/plugin_store_ui/plugin.py
This fixes ModuleNotFoundError when starting EU-Utility.
