Removal of `/plugins` impacts npe2
nclack opened this issue · 1 comments
Description
The /plugins endpoint was removed in (#1212), but npe2 relies on it (see napari/npe2#313 for details and fix). Functionally the /plugins endpoint was moved to /plugins/index/all.
However, for already released versions of npe2 use of the hub api to list plugins is broken.
Is it possible to make /plugins active again, possibly forwarding to /plugins/index/all?
It's not clear to me that anything actually uses the get_hub_plugins() function in npe2 (besides a test). But I think it's a pretty good idea to at least use a deprecation window to double-check.
@nclack Thanks for reporting, though I don't believe this is a bug on our end. We announced the deprecation back in May (see #1065), and recently removed the endpoints.
The publicly available/supported endpoints are listed at https://api.napari-hub.org/. /plugins/index/all is meant for internal usage/ internal users, and is not considered a supported endpoint.
