Plugins list x32 - web interface - bug when unchecking `Run when Notepad++ is closed`

[jcaillon]

Hello,

Thank you for developing nppPluginManager.

Context

I'm facing a problem updating info on my plugin here : https://npppm.bruderste.in/plugins. The plugin is 3P - Progress Programmers Pal, it is developed in C# and previously required .net 4.0. For several reasons i need to now target .net 4.6.2 so i have included a small program to check the current installed version of .net and install an update if needed.

Description of the Issue

I want to "RUN" a program after downloading and copying required files. But each time I add a "run" step, the plugin doesn't save correctly. I basically saves until the run step, and everything after the run is lost. E.G. i put 2 delete in the "remove" section, those are lost when I save with a run step.

I tried uploading an xml but it just doesn't work either :/

[EDIT] the bug only appears if Run when Notepad++ is closed is un-checked

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Add a "run" step and don't check Run when Notepad++ is closed, click "edit plugin" to save it. Edit the plugin again, run step as disappeared.

@jcaillon I think this is an issue in the WebInterface, I also faced with https://npppm.bruderste.in/plugins/view/notepadstarterplugin. If I remember correctly I had to check "Run when Notepad++ is closed"

Hi @chcg, thanks for the feedback! And... you were right! It indeed saves correctly when checking "Run when Notepad++ is closed".

Normally, this would be a problem for me because I actually need this program BEFORE notepad++ is restarted. However... It doesn't work like that! It seems that there is a bug in the plugin manager because this 0/1 toggle doesn't do anything. Even with this option checked the program is executed before the restart!

I'll open a second issue for this.

Thanks again!
