Hi Alexander,
If I try the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
var api = parent.pluginApi('HelloWorld');
api.register({
UiInit: function () {
api.addMainTab('FooTab','xtab123','http://foo.com/');
}
});
api.ready();
</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
I get the error in my browser console:
Sun Feb 25 00:03:56 GMT-600 2018
org.ovirt.engine.ui.webadmin.plugin.PluginManager SEVERE: Exception caught
while invoking event handler function [UiInit] for plugin [HelloWorld]:
Error: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException webadmin:1:13517

Sun Feb 25 00:03:56 GMT-600 2018
org.ovirt.engine.ui.webadmin.plugin.PluginManager WARNING: Plugin
[HelloWorld] removed from service due to failure
However if I remove the line:
api.addMainTab('FooTab','xtab123','http://foo.com/);
And replace it with something simple like:
alert(Test 123¹);
There are no errors and the alert fires as it should.
Any ideas of what I might be missing?
I am running oVirt 4.2.1 on CentOS Hosted Engine setup with 1 host for
testing.
Thanks

Well you found a bug, I will be posting a patch soon. To bypass the problem
add the following:
api.addMainTab('FooTab','xtab123','http://foo.com/, {priority: N});
Where N is a number between 0 and 5
This will determine where the new menu item will show up in the menu, 0 being
at the top below the dashboard, and 5 being right above Events. Normally it is
supposed to simply add to the end, however due to the bug it won't.
