Created attachment 165925 [details] Addons.xcu I first posted this 'bug' on the ask-Libre and Open Office forums. I am following the "Development/Create a Hello World LibreOffice extension" tutorial and have created the files and folders as explained. However, when I Add the extension to LibreCalc I get an error: i.e. (com.sun.star.deployment.DeploymentException) { { Message = "An error occurred while enabling: HelloWorldLibrary", Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @2175fe70 }, Cause = (any) { (com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException) { { { Message = "", Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @0 } }, ArgumentPosition = (short) 0 } } } The Extenion helloworld is visible but faded in the extension manager and there is no icon on the spreadsheet. To solve the problem, Bill ( Tue Sep 22, 2020 10:02 Open Office ) found an error in the manifest file pkg-desc which should have read pkg-description. With this correction the helloworld module ran perfectly in Open Office but still failed in LibreOffice. Gabix on the ask-Libre forum pointed me to a question on this forum show_bug.cgi?id=132005 However, I am new to XML and the way of programming LibreOffice so I only understood some of the comments being made and that the conclusion was NONBUG. I assume, therefore, that the problem is with the code in the Addon module, not the software. I attach the Addons.xcu. I note the xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry" oor:package="org.openoffice.Office" are these up to date Any clues what this error is please. Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
Please attach the whole extension.
