Hello, i was wondering if in Kodi 20 the xbmc.translatePath method has been removed? Or is this a bug in Kodi 20?

in some of my addons i use this kinda of code:
LIB_DIR = xbmc.translatePath(
    os.path.join(xbmcaddon.Addon(id="plugin.video.dumpert").getAddonInfo('path'), 'resources', 'lib'))
sys.path.append(LIB_DIR)

In Kodi 20 however this will fail:

This code works fine in older versions of Kodi.

Thanks for the info
