Analysis

Overview

This task is about the enabling and disabling of plug-ins. What is more, enabling and disabling a plug-in should be done without restarting the application (in real time).

Task requirements

• Plug-ins should be possible to enable without restarting Sophie 2.0
• Define and design a way to state whether a plug-in would be "hot enable" compatible - the only reason it is now may be that another thing it depends on is missing.
• Create classes to control the enabling and disabling of a plug-in (for the APP_PLUGIN_MANAGER_HOT_ENABLE_R0 task).
• If a plug-in is not possible to start, the plug-in manager should display appropriate information. Provide this information if this situation occurs.
• Unit tests for enabling and disabling a plug-in depending on its "hot enabling" compatibility.

Task result

• Source code.

Implementation idea

• review results of the following tasks => PLUGIN_SUPPORT_LIB_BASE_R0, PLUGIN_SUPPORT_LIB_CONFIGURING_R0.
• we can use interface to provide whether a plug-in is hot enable compatible or not.

Related

• Note that the task should be done after the PLUGIN_SUPPORT_LIB_BASE and PLUGIN_SUPPORT_LIB_CONFIGURING task's first revisions.
• PLUGIN_SUPPORT_LIB_BASE_R0 - done.
• PLUGIN_SUPPORT_LIB_BASE_R1 - started.
• PLUGIN_SUPPORT_LIB_BASE_R2? - pending in this iteration.
• PLUGIN_SUPPORT_LIB_CONFIGURING_R0 - pending in this iteration.

How to demo

• Run unit tests on plug-in manager enabling/disabling.
