Bug Description:
I'm trying to test a binary ninja plugin's metadata for the plugin manager to eventually add to the community plugins repo.
However, I cannot setup the plugin to work locally using the pluginmanager
module in binary ninja.
Just in order to just test the API, I tried to load the vector35 repository using the pluginmanager
, but it does not work. The RepositoryManager.add_repository
function returns True
but the plugins are not loaded properly.
More details below.
Steps To Reproduce:
I entered the following code into the Binary Ninja python console to try loading the vector35 community repository using the API.
>>> mgr = RepositoryManager() >>> mgr.add_repository("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Vector35/community-plugins/master/plugins.json", "test") True >>> mgr.repositories [<community>, <official>, <test>] >>> mgr.repositories[2].plugins []
Notice that mgr.repositories[2].plugins
is not populated with the plugins like is expected.
Expected Behavior:
After running add_repository
as done in the above code snippet, the manager should be able to load all the relevant plugins, to then be installed/enabled.
Screenshots:
If applicable, please add screenshots here to help explain your problem.
Additional Information:
In case it is relevant, the ~/.binaryninja/repositories/
directory is not updated either after the API call.
