There have been a few difficult to diagnose issues caused by duplicate Extensions installed in TWiki and Foswiki lib path.

Add a Checker that validates the plugin modules.

  • Added checker for PluginsOrder - There does not seem to be any way to add a checker for a section.
  • Warn if TWikiCompatibilityPlugin is not first in list, or SpreadSheetPlugin is not 2nd in list
  • Warn if any extension in the list is not enabled in the configuration.
  • Warn if same plugin module is found in both TWiki and Foswiki lib path.
  • Warn if TWiki plugin is configured in the {Module} parameter when Foswiki plugin is also installed.
  • Warn if any Plugin is enabled in LocalSite.cfg but not found in the lib path.

MTempest reported that the checker doesn't find duplicate modules if Foswiki and TWiki are in different locations in the @INC list. I've tried to recreate several scenarios. MTempest, if you could validate that this finds the situation you encountered, thanks.

Thanks - this works great. It detects the situation I encountered just fine smile
