Doesn't this plugin function by reading local disk if I remember? If so, we can't add it as of now, can you confirm @mfridman ?

They made some significant changes in that project, I took a quick peek and most of the os calls are gated by an option. For example,

https://github.com/googleapis/gapic-generator-go/blob/134f862b5a05028c5e1af4b55ad213bf6ce9757d/internal/gengapic/generator.go#L137-L141

I'll timebox this and see if I can get a simple project to work without local disk.

TL; DR - Both plugins might work.
