Bug with VST3 introduced after juce 8.0.8

Audio Plugins
1

Hi folks,

after going from juce 8.0.8 to juce 8.0.10 i noticed that VST3 support is not working correctly anymore. After hours of testing i could break it down to the following steps to reproduce:

  1. Create the project for one of the example plugins, lets say SurroundPlugin

  2. In the projucer settings enable “Use Global AppConfig Header”

  3. rebuild the example plugin

  4. go to AudioPluginHost, delete the Plugin from the plugin list, if it was there and rescan

  5. plugin appears correctly in the list, so try loading it

FAIL. Plugin cannot be loaded.

All that worked until juce 8.0.8.

Best,

Thomas

Thanks for reporting, this issue should now be resolved on the develop branch:

Thanks. I will test it soon.

Do you have any idea when it will enter the master branch?

Unfortunately not, we don’t have another master release on the horizon at the moment. It might make sense for us to tag a release shortly after ADC, since we are unlikely to be doing much development during that time, giving the develop branch a chance to settle. That’s contingent on no new show-stopper bugs being reported, of course.

Got it. Thanks.
