A workaround for this issue is to keep your implementation separate and just create a symlink for each plugin in the pdk plugins directory:

/usr/local/kong/plugins/impl/
- /myplugin1
 - node_modules/
 - package.json
 - plugin.js
- /myplugin2
 - node_modules/
 - package.json
 - plugin.js
- ...

/usr/local/kong/plugins/link/
- myplugin1.js -> ../impl/myplugin1/plugin.js
- myplugin2.js -> ../impl/myplugin2/plugin.js
- ...

From /usr/local/kong/plugins/link/ create the symlinks:

ln -s ../impl/myplugin1/plugin.js myplugin1.js
ln -s ../impl/myplugin2/plugin.js myplugin2.js
...

You can script all this with something like the following:

for d in /usr/local/kong/plugins/impl/*/; do \
  cd $d && test -r package.json && npm install --ci && \
  cd /usr/local/kong/plugins/link/ && ln -s ../impl/$(basename $d)/plugin.js $(basename $d).js; \
done

Then modify the plugins-directory:

pluginserver_js_start_cmd = /usr/local/kong/plugins/node_modules/kong-pdk/bin/kong-js-pluginserver -v --plugins-directory /usr/local/kong/plugins/link/
pluginserver_js_query_cmd = /usr/local/kong/plugins/node_modules/kong-pdk/bin/kong-js-pluginserver --plugins-directory /usr/local/kong/plugins/link/ --dump-all-plugins

from kong-js-pdk.

@douggsky thanks for the response. In the end we decided to migrate all our plugins to Golang, as it seems to be better maintained and it's faster anyway. I think you should add this workaround to the docs, and close this ticket :)
