'Cannot create more than one button with id' Plugin ToolbarButton issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

When I update/reload my plugin it seems the PluginToolbarButtons don’t unload like it states on the documentation:

Plugin-related instances such as PluginToolbarButtons, DockWidgetPluginGuis, and PluginGuis are automatically cleaned up when the plugin is unloaded so there is no need to remove them.

Instead; when my plugin gets reloaded it throws an error whenever I’m trying to re-create the button

Cannot create more than one button with id “MYSP_mainb” in toolbar with id “My Studio Pets” in plugin with id “user_My Studio Pets.rbxmx”

I’ve tried manually destroying the button/toolbar, reloading my place, restarting studio but the issue persists

Is this a known issue? My plugin worked fine 2-3 days ago

You most likely have 2 of the same local plugins as plugins are always unloaded upon saving. They are also reset upon studio restart.

Or you could just be trying to create the button twice in the code and it is pointing you to the file

This might be the case except when I first load up Studio the error doesn’t occur, only when I overwrite my saved plugin
