ProcessMaker Forum | BPM Workflow Simplified

Hi,

I have a problem with multiple plugins installation in 2.5.2 community edition:
1) I have installed a fresh PM 2.5.2 on ubuntu 12.04 LTS
2) I have created 3 plugins: plugin1 plugin2 plugin3 (following the documentation) 3) I have created the symbolic links in /opt/processmaker/workflow/engine/plugins
4) Packed each plugins into tar
5) Import the three plugins into PM

If I enable one of the three plugins I can see the plugin menu item in the HOME pane (which is fine)
If I enable 2 or 3 plugins the HOME pane is empty Is this a bug or is there anything that I don't see.

Thanks

Hi,

You nave top create the symbolic link for each plugin created, not only the plugin folder but also the PHP file. In other words you have to create 6 symbolic links.

Let me know if this information helps you.

Lilliana,

I did create the symbolic links to the PHP files as you mentioned I just forgot to metion it in my original description.
Any other suggestions? Is this a BUG?

Did you check folder permissions?

Yes I did!

I checked again just to be sure. I even checked the way described in the documentation (copying the files instead of symbolic links).

You can see in the screen capture that the plugin names are at the top bar but the HOME is empty. When disabeling 2 out of the three plugins in the ADMIN will show a correct HOME pane.

Just one mistake in my description, each combination of two plugin work never a third one.
An example of two enabeled:

This is getting more complicated

1) Installed three plugins
2) When all three are enabled empty HOME pane
3) Disabled 1 out of the three and the HOME pane returned with the two plugins
4) Used Firefox v32 on ubuntu and Firefox 32.01 on windows 7 64
5) Tried the same with Chrome Version 37.0.2062.120 (64-bit) on ubuntu and Chrome Version 37.0.2062.120 m on windows 7 64 and the result is an empty HOME pane with anything more than one plugin enabled.


Any suggestion?

Hi,

Could you try to create just one plugin? and tell me if you are able to see all pages?

Yes one plugin works (all browsers)
Two plugins works only on Firefox (not on chrome)
Three plugins doesn't work (EMPTY HOME PANE) all browsers

Ok so I'm afraid this is a bug, could you report it on this page giving all the possible details?.

Regards,

I am oppening a bug report ...
Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for filling a report about this. I have a question, did you create the three plugins with the same name and characteristics?

Same characteristics but different names. Plugin1,plugin2and plugin3. On the original processmaker install I found this problem with my plug-ins, so I have created a new environment to see if this is something I did. The same problem happened on the test clean environment with those 3 plug-ins.

Hi,

It is probably that the 3 plugins want to do the same action. So could you please create 3 plugins but with different characteristics?

can you give me an example for different characteristics?

Hi Liliana,

Any suggestions in order to solve the problem?
My test plugins are just the demo plugins provided by the system when using yes/yes ... when creating them.

Hi beezbaz18,

we have more than 3 plugins and all works. We created in version 2.0.43 and we could use it on 2.5.2. All pllugins with different expected behaviors.
The truth is that we had problems with one that was working on 2.0.43 and on 2.5.2 was very problematic.
We resolved it commenting some code on functions "install()" and "setup()" in the file "<pluginname>.php", that is outside of plugin folder.

Hope it helps.

Bosatzu,
Can you please file a bug report and attach your plugins to the bug report so the Developers can look at them and see what is happening to cause this problem. Also post your bug number here so I make sure it gets looked at.
