Unable to trigger VNC plugin/hook about see

[noxdafox]

Hello,

The HookManager is responsible for loading the plugins. In case of a plugin failing to initialize, it will log the actual error. To do so, you need to enable logging in your script.

Just add the following code at the beginning of the sandbox.py script.

import logging

logging.BasicConfig()

You should then see the actual error triggered when trying to initialize the VNC plugin.

My bet is the plugin cannot be imported by the Python interpreter. In that case, you can fix it by adding your plugin path to the PYTHONPATH environment variable.

Thanks for the prompt response! As suggested, I've added logging

DEBUG:see.environment.Environment:Allocating environment.
DEBUG:see.hooks.HookManager:Loading vnc.VNCHook hook.
ERROR:see.hooks.HookManager:Hook vnc.VNCHook initialization failure, error: super() takes at least 1 argument (0 given).
Traceback (most recent call last):

    context))
  File "<path>/vnc.py", line 20, in __init__
    super().__init__(parameters)
TypeError: super() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)
DEBUG:see.environment.Environment:Environment successfully allocated.

Google led me to this. Taking reference, I modified line 20 to super(VNCHook, self).__init__(parameters) and the VNC plugin is now able to be loaded and initialized.

Should have noticed that I was running python2 instead of the required 3 in the first place haha
Once again, thank you for the help!

The tutorial was written in Python 3 so some adjustment might be necessary to run it with Python 2.

Glad you solved the issue. I will close this ticket.
