Can't see plugin in DVD SDK UI on macOS

Calum James

Summary

I've followed the tutorials to create a plugin in Data Visualization Desktop, but I can't see the plugin when running DVD in SDK mode on macOS

I've followed the tutorials in this article and on this video, but when either of those resources says I should see the plugin in the DVD SDK UI, I don't see it there. I followed the video exactly and I just don't see the plugin there. I've also tried following the tutorial in this external article, and I still don't see the plugin.

I'm using macOS High Sierra with DVD 12.2.5.0.0-20180829155113.

I've tried running the commands with `sudo` prefixed, and setting permissions on the plugin dev folder to "everyone - read/write", just to try to see if it's a permissions issue, but I still don't see the plugin.

Is something here not supported on macOS? Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, few questions to better understand the situation - 

1. switch visualizations may not list all the existing vizs because some vizs may need more fields or less fields than the existing viz. So better to search for the viz in visualizations listing as opposed to from switch visualization.

2. did you check the browser developer console to see if there are any custom viz specific error messages

3. when you launched gradle run, did you do it from the SDK dev directory?

4. can you see any deployed plugins in  non - sdk  mode?

regards,
