I think for both of these scenarios we need to set the error for every single plugin of ours. In other words, iterate through the list from perflab_get_standalone_plugins() and set the same error for every plugin's slug.

Otherwise, this can cause a problem where the API failing would cause the request to be issued for every single plugin, which would defeat the purpose of the transient cache and the combination of those plugin requests into a single API request (see #1542). This would effectively fix #1691, and since this PR is touching the exact same logic, I wonder whether we should go straight to a solution that addresses both issues.

To make things clear as its getting confusing please answer these below question or my understanding of the solution needed.

  • If error is encounterd at line 57 and 76 we should add the error to the all perflab_get_standalone_plugins plugins so that if any one of the plugin is requested it should return error?

Correct. That's because a failing API response is by definition an error that affects all plugins.

$has_errors = true;
}

$plugins = array();
$plugin_queue = perflab_get_standalone_plugins();
// Cache error for all standalone plugins.
if ( $has_errors ) {
foreach ( perflab_get_standalone_plugins() as $standalone_plugin ) {
$plugins[ $standalone_plugin ] = $plugins[ $plugin_slug ];
}
}

// Index the plugins from the API response by their slug for efficient lookup.
$all_performance_plugins = array_column( $response->plugins, null, 'slug' );
if ( ! $has_errors && is_object( $response ) && property_exists( $response, 'plugins' ) ) {
$plugin_queue = perflab_get_standalone_plugins();

// Start processing the plugins using a queue-based approach.
while ( count( $plugin_queue ) > 0 ) { // phpcs:ignore Squiz.PHP.DisallowSizeFunctionsInLoops.Found
$current_plugin_slug = array_shift( $plugin_queue );
// Index the plugins from the API response by their slug for efficient lookup.
$all_performance_plugins = array_column( $response->plugins, null, 'slug' );

if ( isset( $plugins[ $current_plugin_slug ] ) ) {
continue;
}
// Start processing the plugins using a queue-based approach.
while ( count( $plugin_queue ) > 0 ) { // phpcs:ignore Squiz.PHP.DisallowSizeFunctionsInLoops.Found
$current_plugin_slug = array_shift( $plugin_queue );

if ( ! isset( $all_performance_plugins[ $current_plugin_slug ] ) ) {
return new WP_Error(
'plugin_not_found',
__( 'Plugin not found in WordPress.org API response.', 'performance-lab' )
);
if ( isset( $plugins[ $current_plugin_slug ] ) ) {
continue;
}

if ( ! isset( $all_performance_plugins[ $current_plugin_slug ] ) ) {

Due to the recent commit ff1b440 this could cause incorrect behavour if $plugin_slug is not found in the all_performance_plugins it will add error for that $plugin_slug as we are now using the $has_errors flag which will not be set to true in this case. The below logic will fail.
Solution could be to check it using the isset( $plugins[ $plugin_slug ]['error'] ) condition but it will defect the usage of the $has_errors flag.

	if ( $has_errors ) {
		set_transient( $transient_key, $plugins, MINUTE_IN_SECONDS );

		return new WP_Error(
			$plugins[ $plugin_slug ]['error']['code'],
			$plugins[ $plugin_slug ]['error']['message']
		);
	}

Reason for the $has_errors flag not setting: As the errors could occur for other plugin ( not $plugin_slug ) currently code will cache the error but will return the requested $plugin_slug information.

Question: Should we return error even if the error is encountered for the other plugin ( not $plugin_slug ) ?

See my reply in #1694 (comment) - I think this problem would become irrelevant if we checked that the plugin slug is among our performance plugins in the beginning of the function?

Revisiting this: Why should we not set the $has_errors flag to true here? I think we should, given this is an error too.

This above is reason. And question related to your question.
