Custom item to add a plugin source not working

Question

Hi,

I am a new to ArcGIS Pro. In this question I will not add much code. Just wanted a suggestion to get hold of one issue.

I have an existing code base in which I am adding an AddIn and Plugin data source for new file extension. But when adding a folder connection to the new file extension I am not able to see that file after expanding the folder.

Interestingly following are my different findings:

1. This issue is coming when Configuration is set as a startup project. When I am directly setting the new AddIn as a startup project the same issue is not coming.

2. Since issue is coming in an existing codebase when I am creating new project from the scratch having the same structure as the existing one the issue is not coming.

3. In both of the scenarios I can see the new addin the ArcGis Pro folder getting generated. Its not that new addin is not getting generated.

I tried different combinations to check the issue but couldnt find any root cause.

I am just looking for a way to look into the root cause

Uma thats the problem the code where the issue is my code base that I cant share and if I am creating the code from the scratch to share with you that is working fine. Its something that is happening in that existing codebase which is the problem.

Hi

In my tests, I am able to "see" the custom file extension (Pro custom item) via the add-in and via the Configuration.  I am not seeing this issue you are experiencing.

If you can share a simple add-in and a configuration where you see the issue, it will help.
