There is no "script" directory in the graylog-project

[eduault]

Context

I tried to execute the procedure described in "Creating a plugin skeleton" in the "Plugins" page : http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.4/pages/plugins.html#creating-a-plugin-skeleton

After having cloned graylog-project from GitHub (git clone https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog-project.git), this page tell that I should execute those scripts : $ scripts/bootstrap $ scripts/bootstrap-plugin jira-alarmcallback

It is not possible because there is no no "script" directory in the graylog-project.

Expected Content

The procedure described in "Creating a plugin skeleton" in the "Plugins" page should be should be consistent with the content of the graylog-project.

I am investigating this. I was able to reproduce the issue. There is no scripts directory in the graylog-project project.

I guess the scripts will be replaced for the new graylog-cli project in the future, but at the moment there is no alternative to "bootstrap-plugin" it seems... but I was able to pull the "scripts" dir from an older branch and copy the folder into my "graylog-project" folder ... I had to adjust the path to the graylog-project-repos in the "scripts/includes" file (modulesPrefix=../graylog-project-repos) and finally move the generated plugin folder one level up after creation, but it basically worked to create a new plugin with "scripts/bootstrap-plugin" (I didn't use "scripts/bootstrap" before, sind the graylog-cli already set everything up before)

For anyone interested, I have summarized my findings for creating new plugins and the missing script dir etc. in a blog article.
