Symlink not showing up in Sketch v45.1 about skpm HOT 16 CLOSED

• did you build the plugin?
• Did you rename the plugin?
• Did you change the "main" field in your package.json?

from skpm.

did you build the plugin?

Yes

Did you rename the plugin?

Yes

Did you change the "main" field in your package.json?

Yes

The plugin is showing up in the list of plugins in Preferences but doesn't show up in the menubar under Plugins

from skpm.

Did you change the "main" field in your package.json? yes

That's why. Delete the alias in the plugin folder and try to link it again

from skpm.

I did this a couple of time and it had no effect on the outcome.

from skpm.

just to be sure: [email protected] ?

from skpm.

Yep, is there anything I can do to help produce some logs?

from skpm.

hum not really, looks like the alias is pointing to the wrong file.

Can you copy paste your package.json? And tell me where the alias is pointing to (right click -> Get Info -> Original)?

from skpm.

Package.json

{
	"name": "sketch-2-react",
	"version": "1.0.0",
	"description": "",
	"main": "index.js",
	"scripts": {
		"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
		"build": "skpm build",
		"publish": "skpm publish"
	},
	"author": "",
	"license": "ISC",
	"engines": {
		"sketch": ">=3.0"
	},
	"devDependencies": {
		"skpm": "^0.10.1"
	},
	"skpm": {
		"manifest": "src/manifest.json",
		"main": "sketch-2-react.sketchplugin"
	}
}

Alias pointing to : /Users/florianpnn/Documents/projects/sk-plugins/sketch-2-react/sketch-2-react.sketchplugin (which is accurate)

from skpm.

wait so symlink is ok but not the plugin then?

• What happens when you double click on /Users/florianpnn/Documents/projects/sk-plugins/sketch-2-react/sketch-2-react.sketchplugin?
• If you inspect /Users/florianpnn/Documents/projects/sk-plugins/sketch-2-react/sketch-2-react.sketchplugin (right click -> show content), is there a Contents/Sketch/manifest.json?

from skpm.

It's a weird bug, when I install the plugin it installs it but don't show up in the Plugins dropdown.
It contains all it should, manifest.json & index.js

from skpm.

That's really weird indeed. What does your manifest look like? (we will get to the bottom of this 😆 )

from skpm.

I just tried with the basic boilerplate and it is working, therefore I assume that I messed up somewhere.
I'll investigate and close if I don't see any problem coming from the tool itself.

from skpm.

ok, even if it's with your code, keep me updated: if we can warn or something it could be great

from skpm.

I couldn't find where I screwed up, I c/p the same plugin in a new skpm init and it worked.

from skpm.

I just had the same problem, it was at my manifest.json, i messed up the "identifier" field i change it back to the default "my-command-identifier" and it worked fine again, i hope it helps.

from skpm.

you can change the identifier as long as you change it in the "menu" as well
