Issue

These plugins are recognized as not-installed. And have no way to remove them.

[linonetwo]

I have also raise issue in https://github.com/Earthen/cerebro-case-styles/issues/1 , but I didn't found this plugin rely on 'nodobjc'

Also https://github.com/cerebroapp/cerebro-osx-define/issues/2 claim it rely on 'nodobjc', and is not working properly.

[linonetwo]

Also get wmctrl -l Cannot open display. error from https://github.com/am-shb/cerebro-window-manager plugin, which is archived (deprecated) and not works on MacOS. It should not show in plugin list.

[linonetwo]

Had to manually edit /Users/linonetwo/Library/Application Support/Cerebro/plugins/package.json and run npm i in this folder.

And cause https://github.com/cerebroapp/cerebro/issues/656

[ogustavo-pereira]

sure I think this may have impacted by using an outdated plugin and not maintained by the team. I will understand if it is possible to somehow treat and prevent this error from happening when an error occurs in the plugin.

For now the best solution would be to delete the plugin from the plugins folder anyway

[linonetwo]

One possible could be reading package.json to get diff between loaded plugin and installed plugin. So it can show uninstall button properly.

[ogustavo-pereira]

Good, it might be a solution. Can you open a pr for me to evaluate around here?
