What is the change?
When the
Cmd
struct already hasstdin
already configured, use that instead ofos.Stdin
when starting a plugin.Why?
I wanted to pass data to my plugins to assist with initialization, passing one-time configuration data that isn't part of the interface used to communicate with the plugin. I was having trouble getting this sent properly via
os.Stdin
honestly... 😊This seems like an improvement because it doesn't require remembering the original
os.Stdin
and swapping it back, and makes it easier for the host to pass a different stdin to a plugin, or mock it out for a test.
