Warning: Could not load marketplace details for ${name}

Error message

Warning: Could not load marketplace details for ${name}

What it means

loadMarketplaceDetails(name) tries to read a marketplace's plugin manifest (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json or similar) to compute plugin counts; on failure it warns without the underlying error and returns {pluginCount: 0}. The caller (marketplaceInfo) then renders zero plugins for that marketplace.

Solutions

1. Verify the marketplace clone is complete: `cd ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/<name> && git status` (re-clone if broken).
2. Confirm the manifest path the code expects (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json) exists in that repo; if upstream moved it, update the CLI.
3. Reinstall the marketplace to refresh its clone.
4. Wrap your call so pluginCount===0 triggers a re-sync instead of displaying empty.

const manifestPath = path.join(marketplaceDir, '.claude-plugin', 'marketplace.json');
if (!fs.existsSync(manifestPath)) return { pluginCount: 0, missing: true };

const hasManifest = (d) => fs.existsSync(path.join(d, '.claude-plugin', 'marketplace.json'));

catch { console.warn(`Could not load marketplace details for ${name}`); return { pluginCount: 0 }; }

When it happens

Trigger: Requesting details for a marketplace whose manifest file is missing (repo layout changed upstream), whose JSON is invalid, or whose local clone is incomplete/corrupted after a failed git pull.

Common situations: Marketplace repo restructures and moves its manifest, shallow/partial clones from interrupted syncs, or a marketplace name passed that doesn't match any directory.
