• https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/setting-up-social-cards/#built-in-social-plugin said that you should set environment variable if you want to switch plugin off for local builds

Reproduction

example.zip

Steps to reproduce

set plugins.social.cards to !ENV [CARDS, false], just like what document says, then an Exception is encountered:

AttributeError: 'SocialPlugin' object has no attribute '_image_promises'

An minimum mkdocs.yml should be this:

site_name: Test site

theme:
  name: material

plugins:
  - social:
      cards: !ENV [CARDS, false]
  - search

Thanks for reporting. It has nothing to do with environment variables but fails when cards: false is set. This is definitely related to the latest performance optimizations, should be an easy fix.
