<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Not exactly. It checks all loaded plugins to see if dependencies satisfied. And returns all interfaces that's not yet loaded/not available</p>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">No. That's what happens now. Run KDevelop with debug channels enabled and search for "Missing dependencies:" messages. You won't find any because checkForDependencies checks all available plugins instead of loaded ones. So at the point after checkForDependencies call there could be some plugins that not yet loaded. And then loadDependencies tries to load all dependendencies (even if some are already loaded), and only because of that everything works.</p>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Some plugins didn't load for me. So I began investigating and encountered this weird behaviour. But in the end turned out that they didn't load because weren't rebuild properly.</p>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I don't think we need this. If it dosn't work some plugins won't load -> some unit tests won't pass.</p></pre>

Especially, if everything works, then why do we need to change anything? I don't get any "missing dependencies" because all plugins are normally enabled. If I disable e.g. git, the kdeprovider plugin won't be loaded either. Is that not the case? I can't test right now, but will do so later. Please also test this with your patch.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I still think that if this goes in, it should get a unit test. Failing "integration tests" are much harder to debug, compared to a simple test failure in "TestPluginController::testDependencyLoading".</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">In your case kdeprovider depends on git. Let's say first kdeprovider is loaded. The controller sees, that it depends on git and it's not yet loaded, so git is a "missing dependency" for kdeprovider and must be loaded. That how it works with the patch.
But now it works like this: First kdeprovider is loaded. The controller sees no dependencies (as checkForDependencies checks all <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">available</em> plugins). And then it tries to load <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">all</em> dependencies anyway(including git)!</p>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Yes, I agree. Still I'm very reluctand to do so. Also there is e.g. a standardoutputview test, that'll assert if the plugin is not loaded, so it shouldn't be very hard to find the culprit...
But, if you insist I'll see what I could do.</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">1) checkForDependencies returns false if there are some dependencies, but the code that calls this method threats false return code as an error, so it doesn't try to load any dependencies at all.
2) checkForDependencies must check loaded plugins (instead of all available) for satisfied dependencies. As a result currently it almost always returns true</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">So because of these 2 bugs interconnected currently everything works.</p></pre>
