Failed to update the global plugin state

Error message

Failed to update the global plugin state

What it means

setGlobalPluginsDisabled posts petalDisabled to /api/setting/setBazaarPetalDisabled and requires code===0 plus data (the reload payload). Any missing data, non-zero code, or failed request throws with the kernel msg or this fallback, before applyPluginReload runs.

Solutions

1. Retry the toggle after confirming the kernel is responding
2. Check kernel logs for setBazaarPetalDisabled errors
3. Verify response.data is present — a missing payload indicates a kernel-side issue to report/fix
4. Ensure the workspace is not locked/unavailable during the change

Example fix

// before
await setGlobalPluginsDisabled(app, true);
// after
try { await setGlobalPluginsDisabled(app, true); } catch (e) { showMessage(e.message); }

const resp = await fetchSyncPost("/api/setting/setBazaarPetalDisabled", {petalDisabled}).catch(() => null); if (!resp || resp.code !== 0 || !resp.data) return false; return true;

const hasReloadData = (r: any): r is {code: 0; data: TGlobalPluginReloadData} => r?.code === 0 && !!r?.data;

try { await setGlobalPluginsDisabled(app, disabled); } catch (e) { revertSwitch(); showMessage(e.message); }

When it happens

Trigger: Toggling the global 'disable all plugins' setting when the kernel call fails: response.code !== 0, response.data missing, or the request itself failed (undefined response).

Common situations: Kernel busy or restarted while switching the setting; a kernel bug returning no reload data; workspace locked by sync; API failure due to auth/token expiry in browser mode.
