@zowe/cli/scripts/validatePlugins.js

Zowe CLI is a command line interface (CLI) that provides a simple and streamlined way to interact with IBM z/OS.

/* Validate any existing plugins. We do this when the user has re-installed
 * brightside. It is a safety net to validate whether any existing plugins
 * are incompatible with newly installed brightside/imperative.
 *
 * This script is run in our package.json:scripts:postinstall as:
 *    node ./scripts/validatePlugins.js
 * to re-validate plugins if zowe has just been re-installed.
 *
 * We can only run the zowe plugins validate command if zowe's main
 * program exists. If the project has not been built yet in a local source
 * directory retrieved from GitHub, main will not exist. An end-user install
 * should always have a main program. So, we must check if lib/main.js exists.
