It seems that the directory loading method has been deprecated. I’ve since started using the method suggested. Here is Randy’s response. Hello Jay, The directory loading plugin discovery method has been deprecated for some time, and will likely be removed with Pulp 3.0. I recommend using the Python entry points plugin loading method instead, which is how all Pulp plugins get loaded. Here's how the Python plugin announces its presence to Pulp: <a href="https://github.com/pulp/pulp_python/blob/pulp-python-1.1.1-1/plugins/setup.py#L15-L28">https://github.com/pulp/pulp_python/blob/pulp-python-1.1.1-1/plugins/setup.py#L15-L28</a> I hope that helps! --Randy Barlowirc: bowlofeggs From: Mihai Ibanescu [mailto:<a href="mailto:mihai.ibanescu@gmail.com">mihai.ibanescu@gmail.com</a>] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2016 8:50 AM To: Jay Medrano <<a href="mailto:jay.medrano@neulion.com">jay.medrano@neulion.com</a>> Cc: pulp-list <<a href="mailto:Pulp-list@redhat.com">Pulp-list@redhat.com</a>> Subject: Re: [Pulp-list] Implementing Support for New Types - Directory Loading <div>Did you run pulp-manage-db?<div> </div><div>sudo -u apache pulp-manage-db</div></div><div> <div>On Fri, May 20, 2016 at 11:03 AM, Jay Medrano <<a href="mailto:jay.medrano@neulion.com" target="_blank">jay.medrano@neulion.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><div>Hello folks, I’m trying to add support for a <a href="http://pulp.readthedocs.io/en/2.7-release/dev-guide/newtypesupport/plugin/common.html#plugin-directory" target="_blank">new type</a>, and I’m using the “directory loading” method and I’m placing files directly under /usr/lib/pulp/plugins for testing.
