#3296 Make `namespace` optional in plugin definitions, auto-generate if missing Issue created by MeltyBot Migrated from GitLab: https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/3374 Originally created by @aaronsteers on 2022-04-04 212856 --- As of now, it feels like we could confidently calculate

namespace

as

plugin_name.replace("-", "_").lower()

or similar. For reference: https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/blob/master/src%2Fmeltano%2Fcore%2Fbundle%2Fdiscovery.yml Do we still need this as a required field in every plugin definition? When missing it seems to result in difficult to diagnose failure messages such as https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/3357#note_900121643. cc @tayloramurphy and @DouweM, since I think each of you may have more history on this functionality and when/if we'd still want namespace as a distinct field. cc @pandemicsyn - Logged here as discussed in our 1:1. cc @pnadolny13 since you've been working on discovery.yml plugin definition aspects in meltano and the hub. meltano/meltano
