Notepad++ does not run when `AndroidLogger` is installed

Open rddim opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Description of the Issue

After installing the AndroidLogger plugin Notepad++ can not be executed.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Download latest v8.7.7 of N++
  2. Install the AndroidLogger

Current Behavior

When I install the AndroidLogger plugin, Notepad++ does not (re)start automatically. After I try to execute it manually, it does not run again. No error windows show up, absolutely nothing.

See https://sourceforge.net/projects/androidlogger/files/v1.4.2/

[Install]

  1. Push AndroidLogger.dll under "plugins\AndroidLogger" directory of Notepad++
  2. Push AndroidLogger.xml under "plugins\config" directory of Notepad++

N++ PluginAdmin doesn't support the distribution of the xml file to the "plugins\config" directory . If copied manually N++ starts again.

There seems to be an issue with N++ handling of plugin loading which contains lexer plugins. The input for the lexer seems to be searched at plugins\config<pluginname>.xml but if that fails the error popup is missing but fails with exception and also the fallback popup window seems to be not working.

That missing error message window issue needs further investigation.
