Plugins load but not working in 2016 Ext2

[SimonJWakley]

I have a plugin that compiles and runs on 2014 and did work briefly on 2016 on both Windows and Linux.

I have downloaded the 2016 Ext2 and installed that as well as the dev kit.

I have recompiled the plugins and it loads under Windows and Linux in 2016.5 BUT it runs differently in that when I load the plugin it starts automatically whereas before I have to run the plugin name in the MEL command window.  It does this on Windows 2016.5 and in Linux 2016 and 2016.5

In all cases, the UI comes up and I can interact with the UI and everything looks fine, but most of the important work in my plugin is done in the idle process, and that NEVER seems to get called.  There is a direct correlation between the plugin running automatically when it is loaded and the idle process not being called, but that may be purely coincidental.

Does anyone else have experience with the this sort of issue.

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,

Can you provide us a working sample?

If you feel inconvenient to put your sample on the open forum, you can send it through salesforce.

Yours,

Hi,

I have a thread with David Santos and he said he would pass it on to the plugin support personnel an I also have an email thread with Vijaya Prakash. So I am getting attention 🙂

I will post the results here when I get it sorted.  I was wondering if any other plugin developers were experiencing this.  If you are NOT experiencing this, that would also be good to know!

Thanks,

Simon
