Referencing internal repos via local json file to utilize JMeter Plugins

[Trial Hero]

Hi all. This is somewhat similar to a previous thread I started, but it holds a slightly different (potential) implementation. I'm wondering if it is possible/feasible to do something like the following:

modules:
  jmeter:
    properties:
      jpgc.repo.address: ./plugins.json

...where plugins.json would be a file that existed in the project with the taurus.yml itself. For each plugin desired, said file would point to the private repo url's. 

For multiple reasons, this would be preferable for our operation over hosting a global dependencies json somewhere (and jmeter-plugins.org is blocked). I've tried a few things off the bat, but figured either my syntax is incorrect, or this flat out is not possible. Suggestions/thoughts?

Thank you.

UPDATE:

When I give something like the following:

modules:

  jmeter:

    properties:

      jpgc.repo.address: ./plugins.json

  

I receive the following:

...java.io.FileNotFoundException: Source '/bzt-configs/./https:/repo.usaa.com/static/jmeter-plugin/jmeter-plugins-random-csv-data-set-0.8.jar' does not exist

So it is actually reading the local json somewhat, but prepending the relative path of the json before it. Is there any way to deal with this? Are we stuck with having to host the json somewhere?

Follow-on : Is this all possible with private repos as well? How would the creds usually be provided if so?

Hi,

Your question is more a Taurus configuration than JMeter plugins
So goto Taurus google group :

A post your question.
