validate_plugin needs all_plugins filter

[wpmuguru]

If a plugin adds plugins to the plugin list in the plugin admin screens using the all_plugins filter, the added plugins will not validate. If the all_plugins filter is added to the validate function, then the plugin validates and activates fine.

get_plugins() function is used in several more places (e.g. in Plugin Editor). Shouldn't we use all_plugins filter in get_plugins() itself?

If it was added to get_plugins, then both the $plugin_folder parameter & context (ex. plugin_editor) should be provided to the filter. So, I'm not sure that moving the filter there would provide any benefit.

We killed off the all_plugins filters in 3.0, I believe.

Replying to nacin:

We killed off the all_plugins filters in 3.0, I believe.

It's in ​https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-plugins-list-table.php#L47

as of R17228.

I was thinking of active_plugins: [12947].

I'm good with punting this one to 3.2.
