why custom lua plugins don't show in kong manager?

[solo-xwz]

there are only official plugins

[brentos]

Did you add your plugin to the "plugins" configuration?
Example:

plugins = bundled,my-custom-plugin

[solo-xwz]

yes, I did, and I use the 'lua_package_path' configuration to install my plugins.
btw, I can apply these plugins using admin api, which means they are valid.

Hi @solo-xwz, could you navigate to the plugin selection page in your browser, open the dev tools, find the data returned from the /:workspace/kong endpoint, and confirm if plugins.available_on_server includes the plugin you want to install?

[solo-xwz]

Hi, i checked it and i found my custom plugins are not in plugins.available_on_server or plugins.disabled_on_server but in configuration.loaded_plugins

[Leopoldthecoder]

Thanks for confirming. We'll see what we can do.

[Leopoldthecoder]

Hi @solo-xwz, we could not reproduce this problem (a custom plugin residing in configuration.loaded_plugins but not plugins.available_on_server), so could you provide detailed reproduction steps and your Kong Gateway config file?

If you are using the enterprise edition, you can contact your customer manager and they will help you collect the information needed. If not, let's continue the discussion here.

same issue.

[osaka911]

same issue, did you fixed that?

[Leopoldthecoder]

Hi @luozhouyang @osaka911, this is a known regression. The next Kong Gateway release will fix it. For now, as a workaround, you can manually change the URL in your browser to create a custom plugin. For example, /plugins/plugin-foo/create?redirect=/plugins, assuming the name of your custom plugin is plugin-foo.

[osaka911]

@Leopoldthecoder thanks for your reply. When does the next Kong release?

[Leopoldthecoder]

@osaka911 We are right now in the process of building the next version (Kong Gateway 3.7.0). And if things go smoothly it'll be available by the end of the month.

Thanks

this issue is still not resolved ?
Still we are not able to see the custom plugin in the list of all available plugin with the kong image kong/kong-gateway

[nehaDumbo15]

@Just-Night
Yes I am using the free version but this is not mentioned in their docs if its with enterprise version we can see or not the list of custom plugin.

[Just-Night]

@nehaDumbo15
In my opinion, the problem may be that you are using image kong/kong-gateway:3.7.1.0
Does kong see your plugin?
Can you add it to any of the endpoints?

[nehaDumbo15]

@Just-Night
Yes with the API call I can enable it with any service but not able to see in the list of all plugin

[Just-Night]

@nehaDumbo15
I'm running the version kong/kong-gateway:3.7.1.2.
The problem is specifically with the kong-gateway version, most likely they haven't fixed it on it yet.
@Leopoldthecoder can you help with this issue?
Also, if you don't plan to buy the enterprice version of kong in the future, I would recommend using kong:3.7.1 or higher.
Of course, it has its limitations, but it all depends on what you plan to implement

[nehaDumbo15]

@Just-Night
yes the issue with only kong-gateway image.
Thanks for the help.
