Adding a driver does not work

[michalkahle]

I've tried to add a driver for InterSystems Cache database to CloudBeaver according to the instructions. I've modified the pom to take the jar from the filesystem as it is not present in the Maven repository. CloudBeaver builds without errors but the driver for Cache is not present in the GUI.

~/cloudbeaver/server/drivers/cache$ cat pom.xml

Hi @michalkahle Have you added driver to plugin.xml?

Also try to change id to <driver id="generic:cache"/>

[michalkahle]

The change to <driver id="generic:cache"/> fixed it. Maybe it should be mentioned in the instructions that this id has to match with the id in dbeaver/plugins/org.jkiss.dbeaver.ext.generic/plugin.xml.

Add line <driver id="full-driver-id"/> in the end of the enabled drivers list. Usually, your full driver id will be something like generic.new-driver-id and it have to match with the id in DBeaver's plugin.xml file.

Thanks for the update @michalkahle

Maybe it should be mentioned in the instructions that this id has to match with the id in dbeaver/plugins/org.jkiss.dbeaver.ext.generic/plugin.xml.

This is a good idea.
