Plugin is not working with web-client 6.0

[vaibhav87]

Hi,

We have a plugin developed for 5.1, working fine with

   - web-client 5.1 and web-client 5.5

   - Soon we deploy same plugin in web client 6.0 the GUI is not displayed.

   - Checked log in vsphere_client_virgo.log no error or warning is generated.

   - log says plugin started.

Any help on this.

Difficult to help you without more information.  Plugins built with SDK 5.1 and 5.5 should work in Web Client 6.0 if you followed what is written in the SDK 5.5 and 6.0 release notes, in Release-Notes.html (for instance the fact that the Web-ContextPath must start with /vsphere-client/)

Hi vabhaz

I have met this issue before.

The plugin developed will be downloaded and decompress under the "C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Web Client\vc-packages\vsphere-client-serenity" in web-client 5.1 and 5.5

But in web-client 6.0,the path changes to "C:\ProgramData\VMware\CIS\cfg\vsphere-client\vc-packages\vsphere-client-serenity".

You can check this if possible,or re-login the web client to check if the GUI displayed.Not sure whethere this can work.

The fact that the plugins download cache location is different in 6.0 should not matter.

I found the plugins download cache location differs in two kinds of 6.0 versoin,"C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\cfg\vsphere-client\vc-packages\vsphere-client-serenity" and "C:\ProgramData\VMware\CIS\cfg\vsphere-client\vc-packages\vsphere-client-serenity"

Why it differs in one 6.0 version?Is this difference marked in release note?

"The fact that the plugins download cache location is different in 6.0 should not matter." You are right.
