Issue with Loading Sample Driver Plugin in Metabase

1

I downloaded a sample driver plugin from GitHub and placed it in the same directory as the metabase.jar file. However, after starting the Metabase server, I still cannot see the sample driver option in the Database configuration options.

Steps Taken:

  1. Downloaded the sample driver plugin from GitHub.
  2. Placed the plugin in the plugins folder (or the same directory as metabase.jar).
  3. Started the Metabase server using the command: java -jar metabase.jar
  4. I Checked the Database configuration options but did not see the new sample driver listed.

What I Have Tried:
Restarting the server multiple times.
Checking for errors or warnings in the logs.
Ensuring that the plugin file is in the correct directory.

Question:
Is there another way to check if Metabase is loading the plugin properly? Is there any additional configuration required to enable the driver? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!

It should go in the plugins directory, not in the directory where the JAR is

Yes, I tried placing it in plugins directory and restarted the server but still cannot see the options changed in metabase to connect to that sample plugin, could you please me with the steps of connecting sample driver or any other simple plugin to connect to metabase and test(Other than Databases)
