I have a development site and a production site that I am using a
privately developed plugin on. The plugin functions without issue on
1.3.1.
I installed 1.3.2 on my production site using Softaculous. I then added a
custom theme which worked fine. I then added my plugin which Oxwall
reported as successful. However, the plugin was not shown on the
"Available Plugins" list though it does exist in the ow_plugins folder
with the same ownership and permissions as the other plugins in the
ow_plugins folder.
I then upgraded my development site from 1.3.1 to 1.3.2 using the
standard upgrade process to see if I could replicate the issue. At the
time of the upgrade, my custom plugin was installed and active. After
the upgrade was completed, the plugin continued to function normally. I
then uninstalled my plugin to see if it would show on the "Available
Plugins" list. It did not.
I have both OW_DEBUG_MODE and OW_DEV_MODE enabled on both sites. No errors are being reported.
Anyone have any ideas what may be going on, what to look for?
(Note: I originally posted this at http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/4005. However, I deleted that and posted here which seems more appropriate.)

Michael, can you tell me what plugin is that? Is it available for downloading from the Store?

No, it's a custom plugin I am developing. Everything worked fine for 1.3.1. And, everything worked fine when I upgraded a system to 1.3.2 where the plugin was installed and active. It's only after I uninstalled it or performed an "Add New" on a freshly installed system that it is not showing in the "Available Plugins" list.

I was able to resolve the problem by looking through the Oxwall code. I found that several elements of the plugin.xml are "required", otherwise the plugin is ignored. I had removed one required element. I evidently had not done an "Add New" or "Uninstall" since making that change.
Anyway, the "required" elements are:
key, name, description, license, author, build, copyright, licenseUrl
If any of these are missing, the plugin will be ignored.
