context plugins not loaded when editing outbox items

[tomaszn]

I wrote a plugin and included it in app/js/myapp/main.js. It runs properly (the "run" method is executed) on item creation or editing. But it doesn't work when I edit an item from outbox that failed to be synced.

Yes, this is due to a quirk in how plugins are registered by wq/app.js. Plugins trigger based on registered URL patterns, but the url for items in the outbox is /outbox/1. It shouldn't be too hard to either change the URL for outbox items (to e.g. /mymodels/outbox-1) or put in an extra bit of code to make sure that the plugin runs. In the meantime you could try using the lower-level router API to get it working:

define(['wq/router', 'wq/outbox', './myplugin'],
function(router, outbox, myplugin) {

router.addRoute('outbox/<slug>', 's', function(match, ui, params, hash, evt, $page) {
    outbox.model.find(match[1]).then(function(outboxItem) {
        var routeInfo = {
            // compute from outboxItem
        };
        myplugin.run($page, routeInfo);
    });
});

});
