Plugin only executing for Story Work Item Types


Shawn Carroll (36413) | asked Oct 18 '18, 1:02 p.m.

I created a plugin that can add subscribers on a work item save. When I debug it, it works for stories, tasks, defects, etc. When I deploy it to an RTC server, I see it work when I save a story work item, but it doesn't execute at all for any other work item type. I could understand if it just didn't work, or if it threw an error but it works perfectly fine and subscribers users for one work item type but none of the others. Can anyone explain what might be causing this or what to look at to fix this?

Why is everybody so obsessed with subscribing users?

 The extension point does not know about the work item type. So the extension should be triggered for all of them.

Your extension has to check if it has to work or not. 

Not sure what is going on. 

Check the log files for errors. The extensions workshop explains how to attach the debugger to your production application server as well.
