Does not work in Oracle SQL Developer 4.1.5.21 #8

Closed steven-simmons closed 7 years ago

steven-simmons commented 7 years ago

I have tried installing the extension in SQL Dev 4.1.5 using your instructions, both as a regular user and as an administrator. I can not find the extension in any menu. I also tried just copying the jar file to the extensions directory with the same result.

I used ShowMePasswordSQLDeveloper4_v1.0.0.zip downloaded from your website.

If I can provide any additional info to help debug this, please let me know.

Hi, I know that sometimes it happens, but I don't know why, so could you pls. delete: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\ and restart the SQLDeveloper and install the extension

Make sure you take a backup of the folder, this is where all your SQL Developer preferences (including all your connections) are stored. I tried this and it didn't make any difference.

steven-simmons commented 7 years ago

I had the same result after deleting the folder. Tried it twice. There must be something about 4.1.5 that broke your extension.

steven-simmons commented 7 years ago

It is working now. I completely removed Oracle SQL Developer 4.1.5 and re-installed it. After this, I was able to install ShowMePasswordSQLDeveloper4 as long as I ran SQL Developer as an administrator prior to installation. The extension continues to work without using admin. I'm not sure what was wrong before, but a complete uninstall, reboot, install fixed it.

@steven-simmons - did you have any connections or preferences to restore, or were you starting completely from scratch? I'd probably try this if I could restore my settings when I do it.

steven-simmons commented 7 years ago

I did not save the preferences, but I had exported the connections (with passwords) and used the import tool to put them back prior to installing this extension.

cool:) but is it strange... it seems that something is wrong with sql developer ;)

steven-simmons commented 7 years ago

I had 3.2 installed previously and had upgraded to 4.1.5. Perhaps some garbage settings were retained by the upgrade? A clean install of 4.1.5 along with "run as admin" to install the extension seems to be the trick. You may want to note that in the readme.

thanks @steven-simmons , I will test this again shortly. @tomecode btw your website is currently unavailable but I will test once it's back.

Running it in admin mode during installation solved the issue for me!
