frontend not updating when plugins change, when opencost plugin installed

[illume]

Currently in main the frontend is not updating when a change is made in a plugin, when the opencost plugin is installed.

Note: ideally no plugin should be able to stop the other ones loading when in development... so this should ultimately be fixed in the frontend/.

impact

The impact is the developer experience is severely reduced. But only if the opencost plugin is installed.

How to reproduce

• Install the opencost plugin.
• Notice that changes to plugins (other plugins) don't update the frontend/ or app when things are changed.

[illume]

Installing the opencost plugin causes it to stop working.

I don't think it's a regression. I had the same broken behaviour with an earlier version of Headlamp 0.24.1.

I can't seem to reproduce it. I installed opencost plugin, then npm start of kompose plugin and app is reloaded on every change in the kompose plugin. (0.24.1 and 0.25 rc)

Thanks for testing it @sniok

I wonder how you installed the opencost plugin? I installed it with npm start from the plugins repo main branch.

[sniok]

I tried installing it both from plugin catalog and from npm start. Same outcome

[illume]

Probably we should not block the release on this issue. Because the impact won't be so large. Only those making plugins who also install opencost plugin will be affected (and not everyone even then).

I'll move this to the next release milestone.
