Log undeclared plugin only if it is not disabled

[thomas-kl1]

Description (*)

Developer may disable a plugin from module (A) with a third party module (B).
The plugin is referenced in di.xml thanks to its name and the attribute "disabled" is set to 'true'. The attribute "type" is not set.
If the module (A) is removed, and the referenced plugin in module (B) is not removed, Magento will report this as an error (info level) in the logs. This has effect to flood the logs with false positive cases.
Indeed, we should only log the plugin who are actually undeclared and not used (enabled and missing instance).

Manual testing scenarios (*)

Module A:

<type name="Magento\SalesRule\Model\Rule\Condition\Product">
    <plugin name="Foo_Bar::Conditions" type="Foo\Bar\Plugin\Condition\Product"/>
</type>

Remove the plugin declaration from module A (above declaration).

Module B (with sequence on Module A):

<type name="Magento\SalesRule\Model\Rule\Condition\Product">
    <plugin name="Foo_Bar::Conditions" disabled="true"/>
</type>

Expected: no logs.

Actual: logs entries:

[2025-07-18T12:18:49.535562+00:00] main.INFO: Reference to undeclared plugin with name 'Foo_Bar::Conditions'. [] []

Hi @thomas-kl1. Thank you for your contribution!
Here are some useful tips on how you can test your changes using Magento test environment.
❗ Automated tests can be triggered manually with an appropriate comment:

• @magento run all tests - run or re-run all required tests against the PR changes
• @magento run <test-build(s)> - run or re-run specific test build(s)
  For example: @magento run Unit Tests

<test-build(s)> is a comma-separated list of build names.

Allowed build names are:

1. Database Compare
2. Functional Tests CE
3. Functional Tests EE
4. Functional Tests B2B
5. Integration Tests
6. Magento Health Index
7. Sample Data Tests CE
8. Sample Data Tests EE
9. Sample Data Tests B2B
10. Static Tests
11. Unit Tests
12. WebAPI Tests
13. Semantic Version Checker

You can find more information about the builds here
ℹ️ Run only required test builds during development. Run all test builds before sending your pull request for review.

1. I think this should be debug
2. In a perfect world, I'd prefer this to be triggered only in DEV mode.

We already have tons of completely unnecessary logs about Admin menu rendering, that noone needs.

Hello @lbajsarowicz I totally agree.

My description was not clear and I've tried to updated it in hope to be more understandable.
I've updated the condition to log as debug level only if the app is in developer mode, or if the actual plugin is enabled, but its instance is missing.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hello @thomas-kl1,

Thanks for the contribution!

The changes looks good to us, but please add some automated test in accordance to DOD.

Thanks

Any specific reason to change info to debug

[thomas-kl1]

Because it does not have any effect on the platform and it's related to development only.
@lbajsarowicz would argue better than me 😄

[lbajsarowicz]

@engcom-Hotel Because this does not provide any valuable information outside of Development / Debugging environment, only consumes gigabytes of NewRelic / Sentry, just like the Adminhtml Menu logger.

@magento run all tests

OFC. I'll check the existing tests and add new ones if necessary.
