Troubleshooting
This is a list of troubleshooting conversations with solutions from the community forum regarding creating robot skill plugins...
Blank Space In GUID Folder Name https://synthiam.com/Question/1465
Plugin.XML Not Copying to Output Folder https://synthiam.com/Question/1465
Plugin.XML file with invalid characters produces error https://synthiam.com/Question/4186
Here are some items to verify that you may have overlooked during the previous tutorial steps. Please check that these steps have been taken:
Have the ARC and EZ_B references been added and configured for "not to copy"?
Is the Output Folder of the skill specified to the correct location? (i.e. c:\ProgramData\Arc\plugins)
Is the plugin.xml configured to be copied to the output folder? Setting should be set for "Copy Always" in solution explorer properties.
Is the latest version of ARC installed?
Is the main form of your skill inheriting the correct PluginMaster class rather than Form class?
If you cannot execute the skill for debugging, is the "Debug With External Application" configured to use ARC.exe?
Is the correct DLL filename of your skill specified in the Plugin.xml file?
Is the correct GUID specified in the plugin.xml file?
To verify any of these questions, revisit the tutorial steps to ensure that you have completed the tutorial entirely.
Is this out of date? There doesn't seem to be a GetConfiguration function within EZ_Builder.Config.Sub.PluginV1
Look at the tutorial step titled Code: Saving/Loading Configuration
The get and set configuration methods are overrides of the form. There’s a great video on the first step of this tutorial that demonstrates the step by step of building a plugin. I recommend watching that because it helps fill in any steps that were missed.
When you’ve done it once, it makes sense and voila, you can rinse and repeat
Excellent, thanks - I will do. I really must learn not to just jump ahead in the process
Hey no problem - I do it all the time, and end up frustrated because I dont know what it was that I missed. Excitement gets the best of me
Trying to follow the tutorials but can't find where the plugin page has gone. How do I add a new plugin to the ez-robot / Synthiam site to get the XML?
Never mind. Just found the "Create skill control" link
I am trying to follow the instructions for adding my own plugin but I cannot seem to find the place to register the plugin based on the instructions.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
The new button to create a plugin skill control is less than an inch below the button you pressed to create this question.
