App from scratch does not show up on Desk

[Brendan Kiu]

Hello! I am new to the frappe.io framework, and am trying to see if I can develop some basic apps. I have followed the tutorial here (https://frappe.io/apps/frappe-framework/developers/guide) in order to create an app and install it. I am currently running it in VirtualBox, in the VM that was provided for download.

However, even after adding the app to apps.txt, as well as running `frappe erpnext.erpnext-vm --install_app my_app` and `pip install -e apps/my_app` it doesn't show up in the Desk. All the details are present in hooks.py, but it doesn't show up on the desktop. Is there something I'm missing? I also added some DocTypes to the app, but that didn't help. The app does show up under "Installer" and has the green "Installed" button next to it, but that's the only place it shows up.

Thanks in advance.

Just tried it open it via the Search Bar, and it said "Module not found," and the title was "My App<". Not sure if that helps.

1. Did you update the VM?

2. Can you paste your config/desktop.py from your app

1) Yes, I did. I ran scripts/update.sh

2) 

 from frappe import _                          

                                               

 def get_data():                               

     return {                                  

         "My App": {                

             "color": "#34495E",               

             "icon": "icon-globe",             

             "type": "module",                 

             "label": _("My App")   

         }                                     

     }

Looks okay. Did you have permission for at least one DocType in the module?

you can check by running this in your console.

frappe.model.can_read("my doctype")

Yes, I put that into my JS console and the result was true. Maybe there's something corrupted in the DB, because when I try to use a "Read Only" field in the way that's instructed by the tutorial, it doesn't fill in either. I might just do a fresh install on a new VM and see if I can get it to work. Thanks though.

Also check if your module is check in "All Applications" and Setup > Show / Hide Module

I checked, and it's not there. When I go into my JS console and look at frappe.boot, it's there, but there is no app_icon field under "My App."

[Rushabh Mehta]

There might be one more thing - your module (Module Def) must also be called "My App"
