[PluginManager] Warning: getPluginManager called with differ

Error message

[PluginManager] Warning: getPluginManager called with different baseDir. Using existing instance. Call resetPluginManager() first to change.

What it means

Log warning in getPluginManager: the singleton PluginManager already exists but was created with a different baseDir; the existing instance is reused (its directory mapping retained) and the caller is told to call resetPluginManager() to switch.
