[Desktop v21] Plugin loading path changed from ~/.config/ to ~/.cache/, breaking plugins with data files #12222
Description
Description
Description
OpenCode Desktop (v21) changed the plugin loading path from ~/.config/opencode/ to ~/.cache/opencode/, causing plugins like opencode-antigravity-auth to fail because they can't find their data files.
Environment
- OpenCode Version: Desktop v21
- OS: macOS
- Affected Plugins:
opencode-antigravity-auth,oh-my-opencode
Current Behavior
After updating to v21, OpenCode Desktop now loads plugins from ~/.cache/opencode/node_modules/ instead of ~/.config/opencode/node_modules/.
This causes issues because:
- Plugin data files (e.g.,
antigravity-accounts.json) are stored in~/.config/opencode/ - When plugins run from
~/.cache/opencode/, they look for their data files in the wrong location - Results in authentication failures and broken plugin functionality
Expected Behavior
According to XDG Base Directory specification:
- Config files should be in
~/.config/opencode/(✅ currently correct) - Plugin data should also be in
~/.config/opencode/or follow the same location as config - Cache (
~/.cache/opencode/) should only contain regenerable data like downloaded packages and temporary files
Workaround
Manually copying plugin data files from ~/.config/opencode/ to ~/.cache/opencode/ temporarily fixes the issue:
cp ~/.config/opencode/antigravity-accounts.json ~/.cache/opencode/
### Plugins
oh-my-opencode
### OpenCode version
V1.1.51
### Steps to reproduce
1、Have plugins installed in ~/.config/opencode/node_modules/ (previous behavior)
2、Update to OpenCode Desktop v21
3、Observe that plugins are now loaded from ~/.cache/opencode/node_modules/
4、Plugins that store data in ~/.config/opencode/ fail to find their configuration files
### Screenshot and/or share link
1、Keep plugin loading in ~/.config/opencode/ (previous behavior), OR
2、Ensure plugins can correctly locate their data files regardless of where node_modules/ is located
### Operating System
MACOS 26

tried to look into this - it seems like it's a bit of confusing behavior
the data files were always in
~/.cache- we occasionally push versions that wipe the cache which is why you maybe saw the issueunfortunately we do not control where plugins write data files so we can't tell them to write them to a different place
fix(core): install npm plugins into config directories instead of cache
