Hi Timothy,

How do you normally 'install' an extension? You have the code locally and run `python setup.py install`? Or `python setup.py develop`? Or...?
Also, are you sure you have the CKAN virtualenv enabled when installing plugins, by doing `. /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate.sh` or similar?

Cheers,
Carl

Hi all,

So two of my teams development environments have recently suffered from being unable to use newly created extensions. So, our base build of CKAN includes 20 odd extensions and works well in both development, test and production. The two development VMs in question both complain when a new extension is either created (ie. using the paster create template command) or I copy paste an existing extension and copy replace in setup.py and plugin.py.

So, the issue is definitely not a lack of understanding and implementation of getting the plugin name correct, consistent etc... Even a newly created extension is giving the same error. Even if disable all extensions bar the new one - it still complains. And - today - we installed a 3rd part extension (I forget which one) - so it does not seem to be just my groups extensions. And to reiterate, the mix of home grown and community plugins already in and working (around 20) work a treat.

Is there anything else I can check on these VMs. I dont really have the time to completely reload them - and I am sure someone with a bit more experience of CKAN development can help point me at a file or directory or config file somewhere that might help provide some answers.

Thanks in advance

Tim
