Example plugin from template not building

I’m following the getting started tutorial at http://docs.ajenti.org/en/latest/dev/intro.html but fail to build a basic plugin.

These are the steps I follow:

• Create a new plugin in the current directory:

ajenti-dev-multitool --new-plugin "Some plugin name"

• Build resources:

cd some_plugin_name
ajenti-dev-multitool --build

• And start it:

sudo ajenti-dev-multitool --run-dev

I get this error first for ‘ajenti-dev-multitool --build’:

yaml.constructor.ConstructorError: could not determine a constructor for the tag 'tag:yaml.org,2002:python/object:aj.plugins.PluginDependency'
  in "./plugin.yml", line 10, column 7

After updating ‘plugin.yml’ from

...
dependencies:
    - !!python/object:aj.plugins.PluginDependency {
        plugin_name: core
...

To

...
dependencies:
    - !PluginDependency {
        plugin_name: core
...

Now, I receive this error:

Anyone know what’s going wrong or can give me a link to a working demo plugin?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @H4gi,

Many thanks for mentioning this error with the PluginDependency, I will correct this tomorrow.

About the error with babel, did you encounter any error while installing babel-cli ? I mean this command :

npm -g install bower babel-cli babel-preset-es2015 babel-plugin-external-helpers less coffee-script angular-gettext-cli angular-gettext-tools

On which system did you try ? I’ve just tested on a Ubuntu 20.04, and it works fine.

Cheers

Arnaud
