Hey guys , I have another question about creating a custom Kobweb server plugin https://github.com/varabyte/kobweb?tab=readme-ov-file#create-a-kobweb-server-plugin. I followed all the steps but I keep on getting the following issue when I do Kobweb run:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: com.varabyte.kobweb.server.plugin.KobwebServerPlugin: Provider be.dieter.app.DemoKobwebServerPlugin not found

The code seems to be generating the files correctly and is also automatically placing my jar under site/.kobweb/server/plugins.

Am I forgetting something

[David Herman]

Hmmmm. Can you share your project?

[David Herman]

I don't think too many people use Kobweb server plugins to be honest. But in theory if you have created that class in your project, it should be finding it.

[David Herman]

Maybe something broke at some point? I can try to create a Kobweb server plugin myself sometime to see if it's working for me or not.

[Dieter Vaesen]

If you want I can invite you to the project?

[Dieter Vaesen]

Which github profile can I add?

Heads up that I'm pretty exhausted, this release was a marathon, so it might be a day before I can take a look. Feel free to ping me again in a day or two if you don't hear from me.

[Dieter Vaesen]

No problem! I added you to the project 🙂

[David Herman]

I didn't see any notification on GitHub. Usually I think you get notified with an invite when someone adds you as an admin to a project?

[David Herman]

I just tried creating a server plugin locally and it worked

[David Herman]

That said -- I've learned a lot of Gradle since first implemented the feature, and I will probably be cleaning up the approach a little bit in 0.15.5 😛

[Dieter Vaesen]

I added you! I'm sure

I've attached a quick demo I threw together showing an implementation of a kobweb server plugin as described in the README

serverplugin.zip

[David Herman]

There's also a 0.15.5 branch which you can check out to see how it's going to slightly change in the next version of Kobweb

[David Herman]

But yeah, unzip that project, then cd serverplugin/site; kobweb run in there

[David Herman]

and check out site/.kobweb/server/logs/kobweb-server.log and you should see the entry "REPLACE ME WITH REAL CONFIGURATION" text which comes from DemoKobwebServerPlugin.kt
