[24.7.1] Problems with plugins

[Deme]

2 Systems, 1 upgraded, 1 fresh install.

Actual usage for devices didn't seem to have any problems.
But when trying to install plugins or view information about them, nothing happens. Nor can I see any errors.

You know what, maybe this was just a me problem. It has since resolved itself overnight.

Sounded like a caching issue.

Hi,

I just installed OPNsense 24.7.4_1 and cannot install any plugin over the web interface.
(OPNsense is installed on a proxmox VM)
Also after one night, clicking on the '+' button still doesn't install anything.
I try several mirrors but doesn't help.
Installing manually over shell with

Code Select Expand


pkg update
pkg install os-qemu-guest-agent

works but in the plugin web-page it appears with

os-qemu-guest-agent (misconfigured)

I don't see any errors in any logs and rebooting doesn't help neither.
What else could I check?

Thanks for helping.

> os-qemu-guest-agent (misconfigured)

That's correct because you didn't install from the GUI. ;)

I'm not sure what the issue is? You said you can't install but I don't see why.

In the System > Firmware > Plugins page I can see the list of available plugins but when I try to install one by clicking on the '+' button (on the right side of a plugin item), nothing happens and the selected plugin is not installed.
(Also clicking on the 'i' button doesn't display anything)

Have you tried a different browser/ cleared the browser cache?

This is a good hint!
I'm using Firefox 130.0.1. After clearing all cache in Firefox under Setting > Privacy & Security > Clear data (everything) and restarting the browser, opened a new tab on OPNsense webpage, installing plugin still doesn't work. But when opening a new private window in Firefox, I was able to install plugins. Also tried with a different browser and it works too. So in the end it seems to be related to old browsing cache from previous OPNsense webpage version but I still don't get why after clearing my cache it won't work.
At least I now have a "workaround".

What the browsers actually do is cache the bad 500 empty response for some weird reason and keep feeding it to you instead of posting the command to the API.
