That helped, all is indeed still working...

Hi Richard,


see the first part of the answer to "Using QGIS plugin from another plugin" at GIS.SE 
<http://GIS.SE> [1]

In short, you need to use the independent plugin's name from metadata.txt (i.e., "name" 
field) in your dependent plugin's "plugin_dependencies" field.


For instance, the plugin "LADM-COL add-on Ambiente" depends on "Asistente LADM-COL" (see name field 
of the latter in [2]). So I need to use "Asistete LADM-COL" in the plugin_dependecies field of "LADM-COL 
add-on Ambiente", like this [3].


Note you may declare a specific version in plugin_dependencies, but keep in 
mind that so far this only works if the specified version is the latest stable 
or the latest experimental one. Older versions won't be installed by plugin 
installer.


Let me know if it's still unclear.


Regards,

Germán

    Hi Richard,

    it is (was?) enforced by the installer, AFAIK there are no checks on the 
plugins website.

    See: 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/pyplugin_installer/plugindependencies.py
 
<https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/pyplugin_installer/plugindependencies.py>

    Cheers

        Hi Devs,

        Reading
        
https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/plugins/plugins.html#plugin-metadata
 
<https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/plugins/plugins.html#plugin-metadata>

        about 'plugin_dependencies' and trying it out in a plugin locally, it
        does not seem to be enforced or so? I added another plugin in metadata
        (it's not clear from docs what name you need to use: plugin name or
        module name) thinking I would see some message somewhere.

        Is there some message on plugins.qgis.org <http://plugins.qgis.org>?

        Or is it just a 'memo' for users who happen to see it in the metadata of
        a plugin, then a dev should notify the user theirselves?

        Thanks for any info,

        Regards,

        Richard Duivenvoorde
