Totally tearing my hair out trying to get mainstage to find components built with JUCE

[seanwayland]

Anyone have any tips ?
Sometimes they appear sometimes not.
Once they appear they stay there but if I rename and rebuild they are gone and I spend hours trying to make them show up.

This has consumed hours and hours today.
Maybe I should be in the apple forums not here.

Have you tried this?

AudioPlugin Host & plugin detection

Now that you mention it, AU needs either a restart or a gentle nudge to find new AUs: killall -9 AudioComponentRegistrar

[seanwayland]

I tried that killall command. I also tried dragging the file from the caches folder into the trash. I also tried clicking
“Full audio unit reset” in Mainstage.
I have put all other components into the trash so I can scan faster .

I also have this horrible looking command which I run too and I am sure someone will tell me is a terrible idea.

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine *.*

Well I think I found the reason why.
JUCE wasnt complaining about the parameter version hints it was just building the component file.
I THINK that adding them solved it and made the plugin appear in auval
ie changing

    parameters.push_back(std::make_unique<Parameter>(String("filtFM"), String("filtFM"), String(),
                                                     NormalisableRange<float>(0.f, 1.f, 0.0001f, 0.5f),
                                                     0.3f, filtAttackSliderValueToText, filtAttackSliderTextToValue));

to this

parameters.push_back(std::make_unique<Parameter>(ParameterID(String("filtFM"),1)

[rcohen]

Yes, that makes sense. With JUCE 6 based plugins, we used to pass a string as the 1st argument when creating a parameter object. Since JUCE 7 we have been using the ParameterID class. I thought that we had seen a compiler warning while building. Maybe you can see if your compiler warnings could be increased…

[seanwayland]

thanks I feel like I dont see those compiler warnings all the time … It’s a jassert when I encountered it.
