Debugging a Kollab plugin that fails to load involves tracing its lifecycle events from discovery to initialization to pinpoint the failure. You inspect plugin discovery statistics and loading logs to identify missing files, import errors, or invalid class structures.

A custom plugin might not appear in the Kollab plugin list due to failing security validation, incorrect file naming, or an invalid class structure. Tracing the plugin discovery and loading stages helps verify these requirements and confirm why registration was skipped.

Troubleshooting non-functioning plugin hooks in Kollab requires inspecting hook registration details during the plugin initialization phase. You verify that the factory instantiation succeeded and the registry status reflects the active hooks.

The Kollab plugin lifecycle process covers discovery, loading, factory instantiation, initialization, hook registration, and shutdown. Tracing these events end-to-end allows you to diagnose startup errors and resolve runtime issues when plugins initialize incorrectly or fail to shut down cleanly.

Diagnosing startup errors caused by a Kollab plugin involves tracing the lifecycle events to see if factory instantiation results or initialization steps failed. Checking the registry status and plugin discovery logs isolates whether the error stems from import issues or misconfigured hooks.
