I have plugin A that calls an other plugin B, I get an error from plugin B and I can't debug it, when I use the plugin reg tool I can debug only plugin A, I tried to add to plugin B this code :
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("hello");

but nothing happened...

Why don't you directly debug Plugin B, by passing static values from Plugin A

The only way to directly call one plugin from another is if the plugin classes are in the same assembly, and you explicitly call the Execute method of one plugin class from another. If you do this, then the code in plugin B would be running within the execution context of plugin A, so you could debug it.

Is the above what you're doing ? If not, how are you calling plugin B ?

Hi,

You can not debug two plugin at the same time , you have to look for some alternate way like to register other plugin in another stage and call separately , may be you used some hard coded value in your plugin.

You may also add your plugin code in console application and provide hard coded value to check the main logic.

Hope this helps.
