Plugin CSS not served

[1992Sofia]

Describe the current behavior I wrote a Plugin with some styles but peertube is not serving them.

Steps to reproduce:

0. Start PeerTube localy with 'npm run dev'
1. Clone https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/peertube-plugin-quickstart/ and add some styles to 'assets/style.css'

   body#custom-css {
   display: none !important;
   }

2. Install the plugin
3. Open 'http://localhost:3000/' and clear your cache. The 'body' is still visible.
4. Open 'http://localhost:3000/api/v1/config/' to check if the API serving your plugin styles in the json.

   {
   ...
   "plugin": {
       "registered": [
           {
               "clientScripts": {...}
           }
       ]
   },
   ...
   }

   Describe the expected behavior

   {
   ...
   "plugin": {
       "registered": [
           {
               "clientScripts": {...},
               "css": {...} <--expected
           }
       ]
   },
   ...
   }

   Additional information Restarting PerTube after the plugin installation did not help in my case.

• PeerTube instance:
  • URL: local dev branch
  • version: defvelop
  • NodeJS version: any
  • Ffmpeg version: any

Hello,

Please follow the documentation: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute-plugins?id=test-your-plugintheme

Plugin CSS injection cannot work with a dev server. You need to build PeerTube (to have the compiled client files).
