[5.x]: Plugins license are not generate on install

[nitriques]

What happened?

Description

If I install a plugin via the command line, then immediately generate the project yaml's file, the plugin license key is not in the yaml file. (The rest was there).

This was made in a dev environnement, and after a push to production, no license warning was given. Setting the licenseKey field to null does the same thing: no warning.

Steps to reproduce

1. composer require deuxhuithuit/craft-cloudflare-images && craft plugin/install cloudflare-images
2. craft pc/write

Expected behavior

I would expect a license key to be generated and present in the project.yaml file.
I had to go to in the cp, in the plugin page to get craft to generate one.
After that, I had a proper diff which showed the new field.

Actual behavior

The licenseKey field was missing in the yaml

Hi, thanks for getting in touch!

It’s currently expected when you install via the CLI. The plugin license gets stored in the app when you first visit the plugins page in the control panel. That said, we’ll discuss it further internally.
