load errror while starting plugins (report_error)

[mihugo]

Finally getting around to do my once in a while update of my SIP install.

I'm getting the following warning when starting and the plugin manager does not work:

Ignoring exception while loading the plugin_manager plug-in.
cannot import name report_error

Looking in ./plugins/plugin_manager.py
line 23 there is the line
from helpers import report_error

but there is no "report_error" in the ./helpers.py file and hence the error.
Removing that line makes the plugin manager work though that may not solve the error as there are 3 calls to the report_errors in the plugin manager.

Browsing through the repo I see that the plugin-branch that version of plugin_manager.py does not have that line though that version is also older than the one on the main branch. I'm assuming that the plugin-branch is no longer being used.

Thanks for reporting that.
I thought that I got rid of all the report error references.

The plugin manager has been updated to remove those references.

You are right the plugin_data branch is obsolete.
