My solution to #22316. Feature plugin version of PR #3032
- Parses the Requires Plugins header that defines plugin dependencies using a comma separated list of wp.org slugs. To test, you will need to add the header and content to a plugin.
- In the plugins page, a dependent plugin is unable to be deleted or deactivated if the requiring plugin is active.
- Plugin dependencies can be deactivated or deleted if the requiring plugin is not active.
- Messaging in the plugin row description is inserted; as is data noting which plugins require the dependency.
- Ensures that plugins with unmet dependencies cannot be activated.
- Circular dependencies cannot be activated and an admin notice noting the circular dependencies is displayed.
- Ensures that plugins with unmet dependencies cannot be activated.
There are several single file plugins that may be used for testing in test-plugins/.
