#4508 closed enhancement (fixed)

Display fatal errors that cause plugins to fail to be activated.

Description

If a plugin can't be activated because it triggers a fatal error, that error should be captured and returned to the user.

While the fatal-error prevention code is great for users, it makes it harder for developers to diagnose problems. We can serve both parties.

I'll be working on a patch.

Patch uses an iframe to display the plugin error to the user. Users benefit because the plugin isn't activated. Developers benefit because users can provide them with error messages to help diagnose problems.
