Finally remembered to post here about it, discourse-topic-voting’s directory doesn’t match it’s name, which throws a warning when rebuilding.  
`Plugin name is 'discourse-topic-voting', but plugin directory is named 'discourse-voting'`

Is that more than just a cosmetic thing? Asking it only because there is another plugins too — or was, because it was a while ago when I had enough energy to follow feed of rebuilding 🥴

I got the warning:

> Plugin name is ‘discourse-topic-voting’, but plugin directory is named ‘discourse-feature-voting’

Which is a confusing message.. it doesn’t state clearly what is the required action, adn which value is correct.

With some investigation, what I had to do was change:

```plaintext
- git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-feature-voting.git

```

to

```plaintext
- git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-topic-voting.git

```

Would be better if that message was:

> Your configuration lists the plugin `discourse-feature-voting` however it has been renamed to `discourse-topic-voting`. You should update your configuration.

Interesting, but that seems to be a slightly different warning message (warning I see just lists “discourse-voting”)

I think it may have had a few name changes over the course of its life. Having the older name in your `app.yml` _shouldn’t_ cause any actual issue as I think there’s a redirect, but if you add the current link in there that should sort it out:

`https://github.com/discourse/discourse-topic-voting`

Though I think this change does make sense:
