Description Jon Jackson 2022-07-27 16:49:45 UTC

Description of problem:
Dynamic plugin extensions disappear from the UI when an error is encountered loading a code reference.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.11

Steps to reproduce:
1. A dynamic plugin is installed, enabled, and provides an extension where a codeRef fails to load.
2. An interaction occurs with the extension, and the console attempts to reference the extension codeRef.
3. The extension codeRef fails to load

Actual result:
The extension component disappears from the console. The component will not re-appear unless the plugin is manually re-enabled, which starts this cycle over.

Expected result:
We should improve the UX around failed plugins/extensions so that they do not just disappear from the UI upon failure.

Additional Info:
This can probably be easily reproduced by adding an intentionally "broken" extension to the demo dynamic plugin, then following the steps above
