backport: cli-plugins: Fix searching inaccessible directories #5651
fixes: Permission issue on /usr/local/libexec prevents using plugins from /usr/libexec #5643
Fix a case where one inaccessible plugin search path stops the whole search and prevents latter paths from being scanned.
Remove a preliminary
Stat
call that verifies whether path is an actual directory and is accessible.It's unneeded and doesn't actually check whether the directory can be listed or not.
os.ReadDir
will fail in such case anyway, so just attempt to do that and ignore any encountered error, instead of erroring out the whole plugin candidate listing.- What I did
