The studio plugin manager refuses to load all of my installed plugins, even if they’re enabled. The only way I’ve been able to kick-start the loading process is by enabling / disabling plugins up and down the list which you can see in the provided video.
This can be very frustrating because even a studio refresh doesn’t fix the issue, and roblox instead loads the exact same plugins as before.
Expected behavior
I expect the plugin manager to load all installed plugins when opened, and if a plugin fails to load, provide the user with a refresh button.
I am also experiencing the same bug. I have noticed that the Plugin Manager first only loads 3-5 plugins, then will gradually load in new plugins at what seems like completely random times. The behavior seemed oddly similar to request throttling, so I decided to do a little investigation in my Studio logs myself.
I’m noticing a lot of 429 Too Many Requests whenever the Plugin Manager tries to reach out to https://economy.roblox.com/v2/assets/[plugin ID]/details. When this fails, the Plugin Manager simply never creates the GUI elements for the plugin. It appears whoever wrote that part of the Plugin Manager never expected web requests to fail.
Edit: Because I primarily use a VPN, I turned it off to see if my plugins all loaded instantly, which they did. The lack of failure tolerance in the plugin manager is still a problem - at the very least, it should be loading skeleton GUI elements that allow me to manage my plugins even when network requests fail.
