Plugin not found

Error message

Plugin not found

What it means

savePluginConfig throws the literal 'Plugin not found' when the fullName being configured does not exist in the appStore's pluginsInstalled list. This is a client-side guard before computing the target config name — the plugin entry (with its config/transformer sections) is required to build the config payload.

Solutions

1. Verify the fullName matches an entry in the installed plugins list exactly (compare against mapInstalledPluginItem output).
2. Ensure appActions.hydrateAppState()/getInstalledPlugins completed before rendering or saving plugin config UI.
3. Strip or add the picgo-plugin- prefix consistently (see streamlinePluginName) when matching names.
4. Refresh the installed list after any install/uninstall, then retry saving the config.
5. Show a user-facing 'plugin not installed' toast instead of only throwing, so the dialog can close gracefully.

Example fix

// before
const installedPlugin = useAppStore.getState().pluginsInstalled.find(
  (item) => item.fullName === fullName
)
if (!installedPlugin) {
  throw new Error('Plugin not found')
}
// after
const installedPlugin = useAppStore.getState().pluginsInstalled.find(
  (item) => item.fullName === fullName || `picgo-plugin-${item.fullName}` === fullName
)
if (!installedPlugin) {
  toast.error(i18n.t('PLUGIN_NOT_FOUND'))
  return
}

const installedPlugin = useAppStore.getState().pluginsInstalled.find(
  (item) => item.fullName === fullName || `picgo-plugin-${item.fullName}` === fullName
)
if (!installedPlugin) {
  toast.error(i18n.t('PLUGIN_NOT_FOUND'))
  return
}

function findInstalledPlugin(list: IPicGoPlugin[], fullName: string): IPicGoPlugin | undefined {
  return list.find(
    (item) => item.fullName === fullName || item.fullName === fullName.replace(/^picgo-plugin-/, '')
  )
}

try {
  await pluginStoreActions.savePluginConfig(fullName, section, data)
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof Error && e.message === 'Plugin not found') {
    toast.error(i18n.t('PLUGIN_NOT_FOUND'))
    return
  }
  throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: savePluginConfig called with a fullName that is not in useAppStore.getState().pluginsInstalled: stale component state after the plugin was uninstalled elsewhere, misspelled fullName, plugin list not yet hydrated (hydrateAppState not awaited), or the name includes the picgo-plugin- prefix while the stored list uses the short name.

Common situations: Saving a plugin settings form after the plugin was uninstalled in another window/tab; rendering config UI before the installed-plugins fetch completes; mismatch between registry fullName (picgo-plugin-foo) and the shortened stored name (foo).
