   @soggycactus  This feature doesn't really do much work, so I don't think it's too useful for the end-user. From my experience, I know that it is best to check such things from the user's perspective, because this is the way to detect most problems.
   This means that you can run the code below to check if your plugin loads correctly.
   ```pytthon
   with mock.patch.dict('os.environ',  AIRFLOW__CORE__PLUGINS_FOLDER='/tmp/plugins_dir'):
       assert 'metastore_browser' in subprocess.check_output(['airflow', 'plugins'], timeout=15):
   ```
