Bug #56399	Cannot open SSH tunnel manager - Administration plugin is missing

Status:	Can't repeat	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	5.2.26 CE	OS:	Windows (7)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	Administrator plugin, ssh, SSH tunnel

Description:
I installed 5.2.26 CE yesterday after which once the workbench loads I get a popup saying Cannot open SSH tunnel manager. The app opens on the output window with the trace below. Also when trying to administer a server nothing happens. I was looking around and saw somewhere that says "can't load administration plugin" (or something to that effect), but I can't find exactly where I saw this message at the moment.

Tried repairing but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Hi Ira,

is the problem repeatable, or did it happen only once?
Do you have a python package installed on your system?
thanks in advance

Hi,

I actually managed to resolve this a while ago. It seems it was an installation issue (or rather uninstall issue). I uninstalled and tried to verify proper cleanup. I found that there were remnants from a previous installation in the install folder. I deleted manually, installed again and now everything works fine.

Regardless, this happened every time I started the WorkBench. And regarding plugins, now that you mention it, I did install a plugin near the time that I found it it stopped working. It was the output to text plugin from here http://wb.mysql.com/?p=677 .

Cheers,
Ira

So isn't more repeatable on your environment?. Thanks in advance.

Sorry Miguel, I can no longer reproduce the bug. 

Should an uninstall completely clean up the installation folder or did it leave stuff there on purpose? I am not ruling out the possibility that the root cause for the error is that I in some way corrupted a file that was in there while installing the plugin, but it would still not explain why it wasn't cleaned up when removing the app. I can reattempt to uninstall and report results if you believe that would be of any value!?

Thanks,
Ira

Thank you for the feedback. Please re-open this bug report if you will be able to provide a repeatable test case. Thanks in advance.
