Hi! I'm a newbie working with ros2 and coppeliasim, the thing is that normally i was seeing that all the plugins were load in startup but in my case it's not happening. I don't know if I have to add something or if I'm doing something wrong. If I use the line simROS2 = require('simROS2'), the plugin is load correctly, but It's not happening in start up. The only thing uncommon is that I'm using zsh. Thanks.

That's normal.
Plugins are not loaded on startup anymore (probably since V4.5.1). Instead, are loaded on demand, by loadPlugin() or by lua modules (e.g. typically, simFoo.lua will loadPlugin('simFoo') if "Foo" is a plugin).
