updatePlugin.sh doesn't update plugins

[brunob]

Running bin/updatePlugin.sh script doesn't update plugins. My test instance was using 0.174 of ep_markdown plugins and the script didn't detect it.

The only way i've found to update a plugin was to desinstall/reinstall it from admin page.

Is there another way to know if plugins update are available and to perform upgrades ?

Thanks for the issue. For now you can remove and reinstall a plugin that should suffice. The updatePlugin.sh did the same just in one step.

Thx for the feedback, so maybe we should fix the script here https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/blob/develop/bin/updatePlugins.sh#L11 to do exec pnpm remove "$@" && pnpm install "$@" instead of exec pnpm install "$@" ?

Or maybe we should use the new command. pnpm plugins rm <plugin> and pnpm plugins install <plugin> ? Feel free to create a pr.

@SamTV12345 i was going to test these changes and some questions rise.

What is the difference between pnpm run plugins install ref https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/Available-Plugins and pnpm plugins install ?

FTR, on a freh install with node v20.18.0 + npm 10.8.2 + pnpm 9.6.0, i've tried pnpm run plugins install ep_markdown and pnpm plugins install ep_markdown and it doesn't install the plugin at all.

pnpm run plugins install ep_markdown
