Description Michael Rennie

While working on some server code, my client got into a state where one of the core plugins was failing to load, which had the side effect of sticking me with the infinite progress bug.

We should implement a monitor plugin that checks to see if any one of the core plugins (file, etc) fails to load, alert the user, and perhaps even offer a fix option, like clearing the cache and reloading.

This would mitigate a lot of problems people see when using Orion (when it won't load, or tooling is not working, etc).

This monitor could even be extended to check if any plugin fails to load.

Should we not get a timeout now instead of infinite progress when a module fails to load?

Yes, we get the requirejs error handling now.
