Release notes
The plugin manager
bin/logstash-plugin
'sremove
command now allows multiple plugins to be removed in a single call. This simplifies removing plugins that depend on other plugins, so that the caller no longer needs to perform the removals in dependency order.What does this PR do?
Removal works by optimistically removing all specified plugin-gems from a mutable gemspec, then validating that doing so does not leave plugin-gems with orphaned runtime dependencies, saving the result and succeeding only if no conflicts were created.
Why is it important/What is the impact to the user?
Because the plugin manager (rightly) refuses to remove plugins that are depended on by other plugins and the plugin manager has historically only allowed one plugin to be removed at a time, the caller removing many plugins has needed to be aware of dependency order.
By allowing a list of plugins to be provided, the plugin manager is able to remove the requirement for dependency-order, and is able to handle the removals in a single execution.
