[Plugin] Custom flags in external plugins not discovered when enabled using kwargs

[abhinavsingh]

Describe the bug

DOES NOT WORK

proxy.Proxy(plugins=["...", "...",]) will not result in discovering custom flags defined in the external plugins.

FOLLOWING 2 SCENARIO WORKS

proxy.Plugin(*("--plugin", "...", "--plugin", "..."))

or

proxy --plugin ....

FIX

args.plugins must be resolved prior to calling Flags.parse for custom flag discovery.

Hi,

Is there any update to this or more details regarding implementing the workaround for the skeleton app example? https://github.com/abhinavsingh/proxy.py/tree/develop/skeleton

Figured it out.

def run_proxy() -> None:
    with proxy.Proxy(
            enable_web_server=True,
            port=9000,
            input_args=["--plugin", "<plugin name>"]
    ) as _:
        proxy.sleep_loop()

This then correctly loads the plugin and resolves the plugins flags and their default values. I would imagine for any utilisation of the flags (outside of default) you'd probably need to add those to the input_args as well
