Plugin Template Tag runs on sync

[Jeroen Van den Berghe]

Expected Behavior

I don't expect to Template Tag to run during sync.

Actual Behavior

I have the 1Password plugin installed to fetch my secrets from the 1Password vault. The plugin is a Template Tag that I used in the Environments. When doing a request the Tag will run and fetch the 1Password secrets before first requesting me to authorise (1Password prompt).

Insomnia does some syncing every minute (here). When this sync happens the Template Tag run method is also triggered. That means that when Insomnia is running (even in the background) I will get a 1Password prompt because it tries to fetch the secret in the run method. This is not very handy.

The plugin already caches the secret for 1 hour so the prompt only appears once per hour (Insomnia is always running). But getting the prompt every hour is still not plesant.

I do wonder why the Template Tag run method is triggered for the sync. And if it can be disabled or prevented. I would think just the content of the Tag needs to be synced and therefor not be run.

Reproduction Steps

1. Install 1Password plugin
2. Use the plugin in the Environments
3. Use the environment in your request
4. Do a request
5. Comply with the 1Password authorisation prompt
6. Wait for 1 hour
7. 1Password authorisation prompt appears

Is there an existing issue for this?

I think the question boils down to: can we prevent Workspace to be reload/rerendered during a sync.
