Autoloader wont load mu-plugins if plugins directory is a symlink about bedrock-autoloader

[Ririshi]

I realise this is an old issue but seeing as it's still open, and I'm still running into the same issue (SatisPress with symlinked plugins directory), is there a chance this could be revisited? It looks like @Xilonz fixed the issue for himself by essentially copy-pasting the WP core get_plugins function with a tiny tweak. That works, but it's not the most elegant solution. Perhaps there's a better way to achieve this?

Edit: Until a better solution is available, adapting the newest version of the Bedrock Autoloader using Xilonz' solution works, by replacing Line 213 of his gist, i.e. replace

$plugin_root = dirname(__FILE__);

with

$plugin_root = WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR;

The $relativePath instance variable can be removed that way. This is necessary because the Autoloader class now resides in a different place inside this package, rather than in the mu-plugins directory itself.

is this issue for this repo? this isn't being used in bedrock yet, but the autoloader in bedrock was updated yesterday

roots/bedrock#437

what version of bedrock are you using — master with that commit, or the latest release (1.12.6)?

Hi, I've just created bedrock using the latest master. I'm aware this isn't in bedrock yet, but its autoloader-related. I'm happy to post this issue to roots/bedrock instead of here if you want to.
I've got autoloader working by adding its own get_plugin function. https://gist.github.com/Xilonz/8b62cc5bc5b7f3b8ae175f751688a2b9
