These are the two files I have in my plugin folder.
I just noticed that in the “app logs” tab I have an error and some other alerts, but I couldn’t find any possible errors in my files in front of the warnings:
[2022-11-01 18:10:01:141] [general] The message could not be dispatched on the thread dispatcher_->TryRunAsync

While I was writing this message the plugin just loaded by itself, the errors disappeared from the console. Apparently problem solved, but no clear cause…
So I removed the plugin, and I try to add it again, the error comes again…
I fixed the indentation of the manifest.json after I kept getting this error in the app logs:
[2022-11-03 09:42:30:802] [general] Plugin rejected - useall-tdu-2 due to invalid object
And I added it again, I tried to load it again and I got the same error, I came back here to report and I kept trying to load the file, and out of nowhere and it loaded again. I do not know what happens…
It seems like some delay, or time to read the files, which I would say is strange considering the files are super light.
I believe it is something related to the indentation of the files, even though it is a valid json it is giving this problem when the indentation is not correct.
Well, continue my studies here in the tool…
