Description Alex Arnaud 2018-12-28 16:29:42 UTC
Today we can only disable all or none plugin by dealing with koha configuration.
It would be interesting to be able to temporarily, or not, disable one or more
without having to remove them from plugins directory. This could be useful for
plugins called by hook like "intranet_catalog_biblio_enhancements_toolbar_button"
or checkpw (see bug 20340).

Disabling is not like uninstalling. Because here we want to keep the data and
db structure created by the plugin in the case it would be enabled again.
Also, uninstalled plugin are retrieved by GetPlugins method like installed ones.

Work in progress...

Hello Alex, awesome job!, it works great..

Just a little question..

I noticed that disabled plugins have the "run plugin" button enabled, and when you click on it works.. 

shouldn't that button be disabled if you disable the entire plugin?.. or this bug is intended only for hookup functions?

Hello Agustín,

IMO, disabled plugins can be run and configured in the "plugins area" (koha/plugins/*). The only thing this patch does is to prevent calls of disabled plugins anywhere else in Koha (hooks).

I don't see any advantage of preventing uses of run or configure methods since you can just ignore them. But a hook calls systematically all plugins implementing a specific method and you might need that does not happen for one of them until your are done with the configuration (for exemple) without removing it from your server. 

Thx for testing!

Bug 22053: (QA follow-up) More tests

This patch adds tests for:
- $plugin->enable and $plugin->disable are chainable (i.e. return $self)
- Disabled plugins don't inject routes

To test:
- Apply this patch
- Run:
  $ kshell
 k$ prove t/db_dependent/Koha/REST/Plugin/PluginRoutes.t \
          t/db_dependent/Plugins.t
=> SUCCESS: Tests pass

Bug 22053: (QA follow-up) Override enable_plugins configuration

This patch makes the update script override the configured
enable_plugins setting in koha-conf.xml.

on testing the failure I wrote trivial tests on how
Koha::Plugins->new({ enable_plugins => 1 }) should work. Adding them to
this patch as well.
