@GregoryLakewood I checked in with the team here, and the easiest solution may be to clone your extension next to your automation script. Unfortunately, we don’t have a way to specify to search the installed extensions on your PC.
We haven’t had a chance to test this yet, but I wanted to send you an example solution sent by another user below to hopefully get you up and running immediately. In their case, they had their HLA folder in the same location as their automation script.
