Why this particular connector is not visible in "Add Data" - "Connect My Data" list of connectors?

It's only reachable via Load Editor.

The folder structure did not exist under Win 10. After creating "...\Qlik\Custom Data\" and putting the connector there it shows up under Create new connection.

When clicking on Create new connection and chosing Generic Rest connector the following error is shown: image

@pawel-manu I just haven't got round to adding the extra code to get it in the "Add Data" screens. It's on my list of to-dos though (or maybe someone will contribute and do it for me).

@Xerx64 Which version of Qlik Sense are you using? In past versions the directory didn't exist by default but since the release of the Qlik Data Market Connector I believe the directory should be there.

You may be able to find some more detail about the error either in your browsers developer tools or by looking at the "StackTrace.txt" and log files in C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\Custom Data\GenericRestConnector\Log (Sense Enterprise) or C:\Users\AppData\QlikTech\Custom Data\GenericRestConnector\Log (Sense Desktop)

I found my misstake. I downloaded the whole project zip and took the folder from within that (as I would do with an extension). Downloading the zip from your instructions worked just fine :)

I use version 2.2.3. The folder did not exist so I needed to create that, but it might be created the first time you use the Qlik REST Connector since I now have that folder next to yours.

@pawel-manu - Sorry for kidnapping the thread.
