Since discourse-narrative-bot is now a core plugin, and contained within the core repository, there is now no need for the git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-narrative-bot.git line in app.yml. Anyone who tries to rebuild with that line in their config will get an error message exec…

[immagine] sam: I think we can live with supporting this, its a pretty small window. It’s pretty small set of people who did a new install and got a plugin installed unbeknownst to them. If it’s easy to make the plugin just disable itself rather than make the build fail, that seems preferable…

[immagine] tophee: More precisely: in what order to I do things when removing the bot from app.yml? Or do I just remove it and that’s it? I just edited app.yml and removed the narrative-bot line then did a ./launcher rebuild app. That was after I did a rebuild with the line still in (I wante…
