Adding Glimpse plugin to project

Question

I'm trying to create a custom plugin for Glimpse. I've followed this tutorial

I've referenced the assembly, built the project, and ran it, but I don't see a new tab. As a test I also tried installing this claims inspector plugin via nuget, but that too doesn't seem to work.

What else do I have to do to get a tab to display?

EDIT

Here is the code

public class TestInspector: AspNetTab
{
    public override object GetData(ITabContext context)
    {
        var returnCollection = new Dictionary<string, object>();
        return returnCollection;
    }

    public override string Name
    {
        get { return "Test"; }
    }
}

What I'm trying to accomplish is a plugin (project B) that is independent of the code in project A where project A would reference project B's assembly.

Having said that I've taken the code above and dropped it into a new class in project A and I do see the tab.

Answer 1

The issue was that the new project was using .NET 4.5 and the project that was referencing it was 4.0. Updated the project and works fine.

Answer 2

Can you share the tab that you have created? That will help figure out the problem.

In general through, all tabs in Glimpse are plugins - including the ones that come with the Glimpse NuGet package, so it seems that some are being picked up but not others.

A few troubleshooting tips:

• Check your bin folder and make sure the extension assembly is there
• Make sure your extension class is public
• Turn on logging. Glimpse will tell you what any loading exceptions it may of had.
• Restart your web server
