Writing Kong custom plugin

[Jim D]

Hi. I am in Kong Docker image and I added my plugin (both directory and added it to yml) but I cannot  find how to compile it and run tests?

Tutorial says: sudo make test-plugins. But which dir? And can't find test-plugins

Any help would be good. Thanks

Kong does not see my plugin even though I added it to everywhere tutorial says. (I also restarted Kong) Do I need to recompile Kong?

After creating the plugin, execute "luarocks make *.rockspec" (where *.rockspec is the rockspec file), that will install it on the system. Only then it will be available from within Kong.

Can  you give me the link or document more detail about it.

I run Kong in a docker container. How to create file rockspec (structure, content, template) and where to put it. 

I can't create new plugin with few guide on https://getkong.org/docs/0.7.x/plugin-development/

I found this guide http://streamdata.io/blog/developing-an-helloworld-kong-plugin/ but it is for old Kong version, and can not apply to docker container.  Where to put folder new plugin and lua file? How to compile it?

Please help me ASAP. Thank you so much.

Your problem is not Kong related. Kong uses regular Lua paths make sure you set them up properly (or install using LuaRocks).

see here; http://www.thijsschreijer.nl/blog/?p=1025 

Same for the rockspec, it's a LuaRocks file format.

see here; https://github.com/keplerproject/luarocks/wiki/Rockspec-format

Browse luarocks.org for some simple (Lua only) rockspec examples, like this one; https://luarocks.org/manifests/tieske/copas-2.0.1-1.rockspec

and then check the Kong rockspec to see how it installs its own plugins.
