Plug-in not loading, and no errors - how to troubleshoot

I created a reporting plug-in that adds a menu item to the toolbar. It worked on two computers, but just tried on a third (iTest 4.0.2) and the menu item doesn't show up. Where do I look to troubleshoot what is causing this?

 

Thanks,

Chris

Did iTest get installed for all users?  If so, you cannot install anything until you make some files writable.

Try opening iTest via command line and using the -console flag (i.e. iTest.exe -console).

 

This'll open a command prompt when it opens as well: this is the OSGI console.  Type ss into it and it'll give you a list of your plugin statuses.  Look for your plugin and see what it says.  If I recall correctly, "INSTALLED" is the one that means something bad has happened.  See if your plugin shows up at all.  If it shows up as INSTALLED, try typing "start #" where # is the plugin number next to your plugin.  It'll give you an error saying why the plugin failed to start (this is usually because it's missing a dependency, or one of its dependencies is missing a dependency).  Find that plugin and try to start it, and keep tracing that back until you see the root cause of what plugin is missing.
