"Unexpected tab" error

[denisyukJ]

Hi, 

Trying to make a simple tab, but faced with an error. 

Here is my code:

#region Namespaces
using Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.Revit.Attributes;
using Autodesk.Revit.DB;
using Autodesk.Revit.UI;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;

#endregion

namespace YYY
{
    internal class App : IExternalApplication
    {
        public Result OnStartup(UIControlledApplication a)
        {
            string tabName = "PERIR";
            string panelName = "Info";

            a.CreateRibbonPanel(tabName);

            var panel = a.CreateRibbonPanel(tabName, panelName);
            
            var button1 = new PushButtonData("Info", "b1", "C:\\Users\\denisyuk\\Desktop\\RevitApiTest\\YYY.dll", "YYY.Command");
            button1.ToolTip = "TT";
            button1.LongDescription = "This is TT";

            var btn1 = panel.AddItem(button1) as PushButton;


            return Result.Succeeded;
        }

        public Result OnShutdown(UIControlledApplication a)
        {
            return Result.Succeeded;
        }
    }
}

Nothing special just stuck on this.

UPD: I set AssemblyName hardcoded because I use virtual michine to make a build and place it as well as addin file to correspondng directories manually.

HI @denisyukJ 
you're not creating a tab, Twice time you have created panel. Check Line No. 24 and 25.

In Ln No.24 change to a.CreateRibbonTab(tabName);

a.CreateRibbonTab(tabName);

Hope this will Helps 🙂

You are calling CreateRibbonPanel twice over. Revit probably does not like that.
