Description:
mysql-test-run set the plug-in directory as follows:

--plugin_dir=/.../storage/example/.libs

This location is impractical for 3rd party storage engines like PBXT.

Previously the plug-in directory was set to 'mysql-test/lib/mysql'.

How to repeat:
Start mysql-test-run as follows:

./mysql-test-run --manual-gdb

Then dump the content of the 'var/tmp/gdbinit.master_0' file to observe what parameters are set.

Suggested fix:
mysql-test-run should probably retrieve dynamic plug-in from the storage directory (such as 'storage/example/.libs/ha_example.so'), and copy them to the 'mysql-test/lib/mysql' directory.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

This referred to now obsolete behavior of v1 of mysql-test-run. There is no default setting of --plugin_dir now.
