It is unclear to me from the Trace sample what exactly is needed for having Core recognize and pick up a psplugin file. I created one for my interceptor and added it to my weaver project, but the build now throws an error:

The plug-in "Interceptor.Messaging" required by the type "[Interceptor.Messaging]Interceptor.Messaging.MessagingTraceAttribute" was not found.

My Interceptor.Messaging.psplugin file is located in the project/namespace Interceptor.Messaging.Weaver and looks as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<PlugIn xmlns="http://schemas.postsharp.org/1.0/configuration">
<SearchPath Directory="bin/{$Configuration}"/>
<TaskType Name="Interceptor.Messaging"
Implementation="Interceptor.Messaging.Weaver.MessagingTraceTask, Interceptor.Messaging.Weaver">
<Dependency TaskType="CodeWeaver"/>
</TaskType>
</PlugIn>

Any tips or hints are greatly appreciated! TIA

Jiri,

You should make sure that your psplugin is present in the search path of PostSharp.

In documentation, you can find the standard directories present by default in the search path.

In a development environment, the best practice is to include your psplugin in the project outputs (so that it is copied in bin\Debug).

In projects using your plugin, edit project properties, go to the "Reference Path" tab, and add the directory containing your psplugin.

If you have still difficulties, you can enable tracing by editing the file PostSharp-Library.config and running MSBuild with detailed verbosity.
