Registering a plugin on RetrieveMultiple message in pipeline simulation only works without EntityLogicalName

[CrookedGrandma]

Hi guys, let me know if this is an error on my part or this is indeed a bug.

Expected behaviour
I use FakeXrmEasy in pipeline simulation mode. I want to trigger a plugin when multiple accounts are retrieved, so I register my plugin step on the RetrieveMultiple message on the account entity:

Context.RegisterPluginStep<TestPlugin>(new PluginStepDefinition
{
    MessageName = "RetrieveMultiple",
    EntityLogicalName = "account",
    Stage = ProcessingStepStage.Prevalidation,
});

Then, after I initialize my environment with one or more account records, I execute a RetrieveMultipleRequest:

Context.GetOrganizationService().RetrieveMultiple(new QueryExpression("account"));

My TestPlugin triggers and starts running its Execute method.

Actual behaviour
My TestPlugin does not trigger. I debugged using the JetBrains decompiler and it does not retrieve any registered plugin steps for that request.

Current workaround
I found that it does work when I register the plugin step without the EntityLogicalName, so:

Context.RegisterPluginStep<TestPlugin>(new PluginStepDefinition
{
    MessageName = "RetrieveMultiple",
    Stage = ProcessingStepStage.Prevalidation,
});

But I can't imagine this is intended behaviour. When registering a plugin step on the RetrieveMultiple message with the Plugin Registration Tool, I do set a target entity. Not being able to set one also implies that the plugin is triggered for any RetrieveMultiple request, which is perhaps a bit excessive.

Nice GitHub username :)

I can reproduce the same behavior, so will add it as a bug.

Not sure if you're using it as part of a commercial license, if so, please let me know so we can prioritise it.

Thanks for investigating! I am using a non-commercial license and I have a workaround for now since my UTs are seperate for each entity. So by all means, fix this when you have the time. :)
