Dangling listener - AU not showing up anywhere....

[Lindon]

So I have a very large project.

It compiles as an AU fine...
its there in the components folder
Nothing recognises it, not Reaper, auval or plugnval - it just wont load.

When I run Tools>Validate plugin parameters

it tells me: Dangling Listener.
I have no idea what this means - or if it's even my problem.... but I have a couple of Broadcasters, and when I comment them out this goes away - so I'm guessing for a start I have some sort of problem there...

soo I must be doing something wrong in the broadcaster - I have a very poor understanding of how these things work and this is just code I pretty much copied from @Christoph-Hart

Anyone see whats wrong in here?

const var FileLoadBroadcaster1 = Engine.createBroadcaster({
	"id": "File Watcher1",
	"colour": -1,
	"args": ["processorId", "fileIndex", "value"]
});

FileLoadBroadcaster1.attachToComplexData("AudioFile.Content",   // event type
                                        "AudioLoopPlayer1",  // processor id
                                        0,                     // index of slot
                                        "Loop Player Source"); // metadata

inline function getTextValue(indexInList, // the index of the component (here -1 because no array)
							 processorId, // the arguments of the broadcaster
							 fileIndex,   
							 value)
{
	return cleanAudioName(value);
};

FileLoadBroadcaster1.addComponentPropertyListener("LoopFileName1",            // target component (single or array)
												 "text",              // target property
												 "Update Text Label", // metadata
												 getTextValue);       // conversion function

@Lindon Do you see anything strange in the broadcaster map?

[Lindon]

@d-healey this is what I see there:

I have no idea if this is right or wrong....

[d.healey]

@Lindon Looks good to me. Can you make a minimal example that has the issue?

[Lindon]

@d-healey worse - I commented out the broadcasters this problem went away and the plug is still not showing up...

[d.healey]

@Lindon So maybe there are two issues.

[Lindon]

@d-healey looks like it....

[Lindon]

@Lindon said in Dangling listener - AU not showing up anywhere....:

@d-healey looks like it....

well I tried rebuilding using another plugin code - in case I did something stupid(again) but that didn't fix anything...sigh now I'm really stuck...it just refuses to show up in pluginval or auval... no matter what I do.

[d.healey]

@Lindon Can you share the project?

[Lindon]

@d-healey its ..MASSIVE!!

I dont need to codesign the plugin on themachine it was built on do I?

[Lindon]

@Lindon oh good grief - it just loaded into plugin val after a machine restart....what the....

[d.healey]

I dont need to codesign the plugin on themachine it was built on do I?

Correct

oh good grief - it just loaded into plugin val after a machine restart....what the....

Ah those are the worst problems!

[Lindon]

@d-healey well it now is recognised by auval - and passes - and plugin val and passes that too at strictness == 10

So I'm writing this down as officially mystifying and backing away slowly.. thanks for your help.
