Sketch not recognizing plugin

[lazyfives]

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin several times using various methods (in plugins folder or through "Manage Plugins") and it won't appear in the plugins dropdown menu or in the "Manage Plugins" option. Using Sketch version 51.2 (57519) on OS 10.12.6.

Hmm, I'm really not sure what could be causing this... you don't have this issue with any other plugins? Try installing it with Sketch Runner possibly? Generally downloading the .zip and double-clicking the .sketchplugin file should work too.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Attaching a couple of screenshots. You'll see I have the plug-in downloaded into my folder. I also installed Sketch Runner and it did not find it. I've installed it both via Sketch Plugin Manager and via download. Neither has worked. I've also installed your most recent update.

Sorry I don't see any screenshot attachments?

Didn't go through the email server.

When you expand the "Sketch-ArtboardTricks" folder, does it show a .sketchplugin file there?

[lazyfives]

No. All the other plugins do. I just downloaded it again yesterday, btw.

Just downloaded it again and no .sketchplugin file is included.

Ah OK, it looks like you're downloading the source code, not the plugin:

• Sketch Plugin Manager may not correctly install plugins where the .sketchplugin isn't in the Git repository directly
• Sketch Runner DOES work, so installing with Sketch Runner should be better. This was a semi recent change they made so you may need to update Runner
• When downloading directly from the GitHub releases page, make sure to use the "To install ..." link rather than Source code or any other link.

For example this should be the right link for 1.11.2:

https://github.com/romannurik/Sketch-ArtboardTricks/releases/download/v1.11.2/ArtboardTricks.sketchplugin.zip

[lazyfives]

OK. That did it. Generally when I've downloaded off GitHub I use "clone or download" button and choose "download" it gives me a plugin, rather than source code. One thing to note: I use the plugin Sketch Plugin Manager, and it also downloads the source code, rather than the plugin, which is what was causing me confusion as I haven't encountered this with other plugins. Thank you so much for the help. I'd call this resolved! Ron

Ah OK :) I'd consider moving to Sketch Runner if you run into more hiccups installing other plugins :)

Thank you.
