[FR] Platform enable/disable switch for plugins

[ursincantieni]

Please verify that this feature request has NOT been suggested before.

• I checked and didn't find a similar feature request

Problem statement

On the new platform user interface I cannot seem to install and enable an external plugin, such as inventree_kicad.

In the older GUI there is a enable/disable button in the plugin page, which can be used to start the plugin after installing. In the new GUI I don't see this button, and since the plugin appears to be disabled by default I cannot enable it.

Suggested solution

Add such an enable/disable funcionality to the platform user interface.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Use the old GUI for this instead.

Please provide a screenshot, as well as full version information on your InvenTree setup

interesting, this is exactly the behavior I was seeing in #7709 (point 5), version information would be interesting here.

[ursincantieni]

Interestingly, after checking it again now to take the screenshot, when clicking on the 3 dots there now is the option to enable/disable. Running on version 0.17.0. When trying it earlier, it was already running on 0.17.0, unfortunately I didn't take a screenshot so maybe I missed something. I'll close this, as it's already implemented.

@wolflu05 anything between your case and this sound similar setup wise? This sound like something very annoying for new users

[wolflu05]

Not sure, he would need to provide some more infos about the deployment method... Somehow I cannot reproduce this anymore with the exact same setup. Maybe it's related to the version. I think I remember when @SchrodingersGat added something to really also reload cached code, and ensure that the code is the same between workers. Maybe this was the fix..

Just encountered this again, running v 0.17.5.

Are you running our docker setup, or via a different installation method?

[ursincantieni]

Running your docker setup yes, apart from host address and credentials it's the default configuration.

Do you have the "check plugins on startup" setting enabled?
