Mysterious Output Error

Apologies if this was the wrong place to put this, I don’t know which category it falls under.
I opened up Roblox Studio today to see an error in the output bar that says Failed to load installed plugins from cloud: HttpRequest “UserDataStoreService::loadUserDataAsync()”: could not parse JSON response (Error: The document is empty.):.


What does it mean? I’ve never gotten this notification before. The only thing I do know is that I don’t have any plugins.

You did UserDataStoreService::loadUserDataAsync() instead of UserDataStoreService:loadUserDataAsync() You used two of these : instead of one

Are you sure you don’t have any plugins check the plugin tab, because if you don’t have any this shouldn’t appear

I don’t think that is a script output, so he doesn’t have control over that. that just how Roblox sends the error


This is what I see when I click on the “Manage Plugins” button.

Ok. I think this is just roblox being annoying.

Are you making plugins yourself?

Nope. This error shows up on all my games when I open studio, including ones with nothing in them.

I had this once happen to me, I would just ignore it. If it doesn’t effect your game it’s fine. I don’t know why this happens

Did it go away after some time?

Yes, for me. I don’t see it anymore

Ok, I will try the same. Thank you for your help.

Disable/uninstall all of your plugins as one of those is causing the error to appear.

Just putting in my opinion in here.
Judging by the error message itself. This is likely an API going down.
It’s just failing to get the plugins you have installed, so unless you have a plugin that you need, it won’t do anything.

Weirdly enough, the service is not defined in the Roblox Developer Wiki or the Roblox API Reference (3rd-party).

Interesting, thank you for the input.
