Hi, 

in my custom plasmoid, when I access a plasmoid.config value from the config
dialogue without having used it from the plasmoid before, the plasmoid
subsequently fails to access plasmoid.configuration. 

See
https://github.com/Fuchs/hoppla-sa/commit/0bc8ca22e966f438453d2a34f34cce7836502425#diff-52c7b097dabe3c69cef049acf7f74fdb
 which fixes it in my case. Before that commit, one could

1) reload plasma
2) right click the plasmoid and open the configuration dialogue
3) save config, close config dialogue
4) open the plasmoid by clicking on it
5) subsequent access to plasma.configuration will fail, leading to the plasmoid
not being able to read out the URL and thus contact the Hue bridge
