Check Plugin Readiness Before Command Execution

[Yahud100]

Description:

In our Theia project, we execute commands related to plugins, but sometimes the plugin isn’t fully initialized when commands are run, leading to missing responses. This often happens after frontend refreshes, as the plugin may not be registered yet.

Issue:

How can we reliably check if a plugin is ready before executing commands in Theia? We need a method to ensure the plugin is fully initialized before interaction to avoid issues with unregistered plugins.

Expected Behavior:

A mechanism to confirm plugin readiness before executing commands to ensure smooth operation.

Hey @Yahud100,

I believe this discussion should answer your question. You can await the promise to ensure that the plugin host is up and accepts all call to commands.
