How to debug a plugin?

Sherry_Ummen — Wed, 19 Jul 2017 07:40:25 GMT

Hi,

I am breaking my head for quite long to figure out how to write a simple plugin , deploy it and debug it.

Yes I have seen this one https://answers.nuxeo.com/general/q/0ebf800f33c944a99cb33f41c284f2fb/Using-an-external-sso-system-for-authentication

But it's outdated and its link does not work.

If Nuxeo is providing it as a development platform as well then they should also provide simple examples on how to do. Very poor documentation, is it done purposefully so that user go for your pricey support ?

Creating packages also does not work even after following every step https

We at Nuxeo resent the suggestion that our doc would be incomplete on purpose. Please refrain from this kind of comment on this site.

I am convinced now that its not purposefully done and I will henceforth will not comment like that. But my frustration is still very much valid. As i said in my previous comment i tried the steps from the given link and tried exactly like said and does not work. But then tried a simple maven example and compared the generated pom file with the generated file by the nuxeo cli and nuxeo yo generator and changed the pom accordingly then it worked and I was able to load the bundle/package .

Looks like my post is one of the largest viewed but no one gave an answer. Either people have never tried it or they don't want to help

I think the nuxeo-marketplace-sample is the most helpful code sample for learning this: https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-marketplace-sample

Another, more minimal and more up-to-date place to start is Creating Nuxeo Packages.

In my experience, SSO authentication can be a little tricky because it often touches the servlet layer as well as the Nuxeo framework for things like JSESSIONID cookies.So you'll have to have a command of those technologies as well.
