Unable to install/remove plugins after an upgrade 1.7.5->1.8.0

[Aeris1One]

Just upgraded from master to testing, I never installed mypads, and after the upgrade, the "MyPads" link under "create/open a pad with that name" appeared.

Can't install/remove any plugin :/

Actually, I fixed twice that issue (while working locally), and the second time was a regression...

[Aeris1One]

I reinstalled a backup because I wasn't able to install/remove any plugin after the upgrade.

[maniackcrudelis]

So I guess that's an other issue, from the admin panel you weren't able to deal with the plugins ?

[maniackcrudelis]

I do have that issue as well. It works with the version 1.7.5, it doesn't anymore after an upgrade to 1.8.0
I opened an issue on etherpad repo about that. ether/etherpad-lite#3810

[Aeris1One]

Plugins are working if I directly install 1.8 without upgrading.
I saved the MySQL database, deleted etherpad 1.7.5, reinstalled etherpad 1.8, applied MySQL backup.
Maybe you could make a full reinstall in upgrade (saving db, plugins folder,... then reinstalling and restoring things saved before)

Working on it.
I test different situations.

Without the non help of the main dev of etherpad, who just consider you should git pull and solve the issues you will surely have... What a great way to provide an app to your users...

I may finally have found the issue, not sure considering that I don't know why I didn't work in the first place.
At least with that fix, I did not reproduce anymore.

At least, we learned something... If you have an issue with etherpad, do not lost your time asking for support on the repo...
