Some plugins are disabled after service restart and need to be re-enabled

[brocaar]

Describe the bug

Answer does not store plugin status. I have upgraded from v1.6.0 to v1.7.1 and added two additional plugins (Quicklinks + Code Highlight). When I enable these plugins, they work fine, however when restarting the Answer service, these two plugins are disabled again and I have to re-enable them. The other plugins do stay enabled.

To Reproduce

• I previously I had v1.6.0 installed with the above plugins minus Quicklinks and Code Highlight
• I built v1.7.1 with all the above plugins
• I stopped the Answer service, copied the new binary to the server, ran the upgrade command and re-started the service
• The new Quicklinks + Code Highlight plugins were disabled by default and I enabled them
• I configured the Quicklinks plugin and verified that both plugins are working properly
• After restarting the Apache answer service both plugins are disabled
• After re-enabling them, they still have the correct config.

Expected behavior

Answer should maintain the plugin state after a server / service restart.

Platform

• Linux AMD64
• Version v1.7.1
• PostgreSQL v17

Hello, thank you for your feedback. After testing, I was unable to reproduce the issue. All plugin states are stored in the database, so there shouldn't be instances of individual plugins having incorrect states. Could you please provide more detailed steps to reproduce the problem?

@robinv8 in which table can I find the state of the plugins (enabled / disabled)? Then I will check if the table is updated or not after activation / deactivation.

@brocaar You can find the value for the key plugin.status in the config table. If the plugin's status is set correctly, you can see the status value here.
