Cannot uninstall plugin if missing?

Jeff Warner·19 days ago

A follow-up to this issue: I’m now able to start the application and I see the toast warning that the plugin could not be found.

This plugin was the only one I’d installed, and when I go to the Plugins Manager, it shows Installed (1), but the list renders empty.

Thinking about UX, I’d expect to see the plugin in the list but greyed out with a ! warning, and still having the option to uninstall it.

As it stands now, direct SQLite manipulation (per your recommendation) seems to be the only thing that could address this.

This isn’t a blocker so I’m not sure if you’d consider it a bug or a mere improvement. However, I figure that this is unintended behavior, so I’ve marked it as both.

Ah, thanks for following up here! I’ll fix that.

Just seconding this. I’m getting a similar error where I have a phantom plugin I can’t see in the UI, which is causing a load failure toast on startup. At the top of the plugins list, it says Installed(2), but there is only one plugin actually showing.

I agree with the suggested UX above for uninstalling a plugin that didn’t load right.

Alternate workaround (without editing the SQL manually): I looked in the log to figure out what plugin it was missing. I put a valid plugin where it was looking for the missing one. Yaak loaded without error and then I was able to uninstall the phantom one cleanly.
