kodev and plugin development

philips · 05-25-2021, 02:48 PM

I am trying to figure out how to do plugin development.

I followed the build environment guide and got kodev run to launch koreader on my macOS machine without issue.

https://github.com/koreader/koreader...oc/Building.md

However, I can't figure out where to put the helloworld plugin and have it show up in the emulator.

My expectation was that if I copied hello.koplugin into the debug directory it would show up in the Plugin list. However, it does not.

So, how do you do plugin development with `kodev run`?

Try either koreader/plugins or koreader/koreader-emulator…debug/plugins (the latter is a symlink to the former).

The helloworld plugin is disabled because it is only useful to read the source code. You'll need to remove https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ain.lua#L7-L10 to enable it.

You won't need to copy the plugin anywhere while you're running the emulator.
