sm returns INVALID_HANDLE when retrieving <disabled> plugin's handle, even if plugin is listed:

PHP Code:

sm plugins list
...
52 Disabled: "[ANY] Sample" (1.0) by XXX 


and considered as loaded:

PHP Code:

sm plugins load fault.smx
[SM] Plugin fault.smx is already loaded. 


so by logic, GetPluginStatus() should have an opportunity to show status: Plugin_Running

but it require plugin handle, that I cannot provide.

Is it a bug?

Fault.sp

PHP Code:

public APLRes AskPluginLoad2(Handle myself, bool late, char[] error, int err_max)
{
    return APLRes_SilentFailure;
} 


+ map change (to reproduce).

Iterator.sp

PHP Code:

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_iter", CmdIter);
}

Action CmdIter(int client, int args)
{
    char sFilename[] = "fault.smx";
    
    Handle hPlugin = FindPluginByFile(sFilename);
    
    PrintToChatAll("Plugin handle: %i", hPlugin); // returns 0
    
    // ==============
    
    char sLog[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    BuildPath(Path_SM, sLog, sizeof(sLog), "logs/_status.log");
        
    Handle hIter = GetPluginIterator();
    Handle hPlug;
    char name[64];
    
    // Iterate plugins
    while( MorePlugins(hIter) )
    {
        hPlug = ReadPlugin(hIter);
        
        GetPluginFilename(hPlug, name, sizeof name);
        
        ps = GetPluginStatus(hPlug);
        
        LogToFileEx(sLog, "Plugin %s (Handle: %i) - status: %i", name, hPlug, ps);

        // last record of iterator returns Handle: 0
    }
    
    Handle h = FindPluginByNumber(52);
    PrintToChatAll("52-th plugin handle is: %i", h); // returns 0
    
    return Plugin_Handled;
} 


FindPluginByFile returns 0;
FindPluginByNumber returns 0;

GetPluginIterator + MorePlugins can see disabled plugin. They returns in total 52 records, but that last record is:

Plugin XXX (Handle: 0)

so no information about name of disabled plugin cannot be retrieved from this handle.
