class PluginManager:

Known subclasses: acme.runtime.PluginManager.PluginManager

PluginManager class.

This class manages the loading and registration of plugins.

Method	`__delattr__`	Delete the plugin by name.
Method	`__getattr__`	Get the instance or plugin by name.
Method	`callService`	Call a service plugin endpoint.
Method	`configurePlugins`	Configure the specified plugins.
Method	`dependencyGraph`	Get the dependency graph of the plugins and other classes.
Method	`dependencyGraphProvidedInstances`	Get the provided instances that are not plugins, and who is using them.
Method	`getPluginsByTag`	Get the names of the plugins that have the given tag.
Method	`has`	Check if a plugin instance with the given name exists.
Method	`isProvidedFunction`	Check if a provided instance with the given name is a function provided by the @provide decorator.
Method	`loadPlugins`	Load plugins from the specified directory.
Method	`pausePlugins`	Pause the specified plugins.
Method	`provide`	Provide a instance of any non-plugin class to be injected as a dependency. This can be used to provide instances of classes that are not plugins, but are required as dependencies by plugins or other classes.
Method	`resolvePlugins`	Resolve the dependencies of all plugins and other classes. This is called before starting the plugins to ensure that all dependencies are resolved and the plugin instances have all the required attributes injected.
Method	`restartPlugins`	Restart the specified plugins.
Method	`setupFinished`	Check if all required dependencies are resolved. This can be called after the resolvePlugins method to check if there are any unresolved dependencies that are required and not provided. This is a separate step because sometimes, we might want to resolve the plugins first and then check for missing dependencies, so that we can provide the missing dependencies before starting the plugins...

Class Variable	`unloadedPlugins`	List to hold the names of the plugins that were not loaded due to filtering.
Method	`_checkPluginTags`	Check if a plugin matches the specified tags and excluded tags.
Method	`_transition`	Transition the state of a plugin. This will happen in the order of the plugin priority, but can be reversed if necessary (e.g. for stopping plugins, which should happen in reverse order of starting).

def provide(self, moduleName: str, instance: Any): ¶

Provide a instance of any non-plugin class to be injected as a dependency. This can be used to provide instances of classes that are not plugins, but are required as dependencies by plugins or other classes.

The provided instances are injected into the dependent classes during the dependency resolution phase, just like plugin instances.

The provided instances are not managed by the plugin manager, so they are not started, stopped, etc. They are simply injected as attributes into the dependent classes.

Parameters
moduleName:`str`	The name of the module that provides the instance. This is used to identify the instance in the dependency graph and to inject it into the dependent classes.
instance:`Any`	The instance to provide. This can be any instance of any class, as long as it is not a plugin class (i.e. it does not have the @pluginClass decorator).

def resolvePlugins(self, tags: str | list[str] | None = None, excludedTags: str | list[str] | None = None): ¶

Resolve the dependencies of all plugins and other classes. This is called before starting the plugins to ensure that all dependencies are resolved and the plugin instances have all the required attributes injected.

Parameters
tags:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The tags of the plugins to match for dependency resolution. Match all if None.
excludedTags:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The tags of the plugins to exclude from dependency resolution. Exclude none

Raises
`DependencyError`	If a required dependency cannot be resolved.

Restart the specified plugins.

Parameters
pluginNames:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The name(s) of the plugin(s) to restart. Restart all if None.
tags:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The tags of the plugins to match. Match all if None.
excludedTags:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The tags of the plugins to exclude. Exclude none if None.

Raises
`KeyError`	If a specified plugin is not found.

def setupFinished(self): ¶

Check if all required dependencies are resolved. This can be called after the resolvePlugins method to check if there are any unresolved dependencies that are required and not provided. This is a separate step because sometimes, we might want to resolve the plugins first and then check for missing dependencies, so that we can provide the missing dependencies before starting the plugins. For example, we might want to provide some extra instances that are not plugins, but are required by some plugins or other classes. In this case, we can call resolvePlugins first, then setupFinished to see if there are any missing dependencies, then provide the missing instances, and then start the plugins.

Start the specified plugins.

Parameters
pluginNames:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The name(s) of the plugin(s) to start. Start all if None.
tags:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The tags of the plugins to match. Match all if None.
excludedTags:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The tags of the plugins to exclude. Exclude none if None.

Raises
`KeyError`	If a specified plugin is not found.

Shutdown the specified plugins. Plugins are stopped in reverse order of their priority.

Parameters
pluginNames:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The name(s) of the plugin(s) to shutdown. Shutdown all if None.
tags:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The tags of the plugins to match. Match all if None.
excludedTags:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The tags of the plugins to exclude. Exclude none if None.

Raises
`KeyError`	If a specified plugin is not found.

def unloadPlugins(self, pluginNames: list[str] | str | None = None): ¶

Unload a plugin by name. If running, stop it first.

Parameters
pluginNames:`list[str] \| str \| None`	The name(s) of the plugin(s) to remove.

Raises
`KeyError`	If the plugin is not found.

Unpause the specified plugins. Plugins are unpaused in reverse order of their priority.

Parameters
pluginNames:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The name(s) of the plugin(s) to unpause. Unpause all if None.
tags:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The tags of the plugins to match. Match all if None.
excludedTags:`str \| list[str] \| None`	The tags of the plugins to exclude. Exclude none if None.

Raises
`KeyError`	If a specified plugin is not found.

def unresolvePlugins(self): ¶

Unresolve the plugins. This is called when plugins are unloaded to clean up the injected dependencies and set the plugin instances to None.

Validate the specified plugins.

Parameters
