New plugin checklist

  • The plugin is a project under modules\launcher\Plugins
  • Microsoft plugin project name pattern: Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.{PluginName}
  • Community plugin project name pattern: Community.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.{PluginName}
  • GlobalSuppressions.cs and StyleCop.json have to be included in the plugin project so it follows PowerToys code guidelines
  • The project file should import Version.props and specify <Version>$(Version).0</Version>
  • Make sure *.csproj specify only x64 platform target
  • The plugin has to contain a plugin.json file of the following format in its root folder
{
  "ID": string, // GUID string
  "ActionKeyword": string, // Direct activation phrase
  "IsGlobal": boolean,
  "Name": string, // Has to be unique, same as 'PluginName' in the project name pattern  
  "Author": string,
  "Version": "1.0.0", // For future compatibility
  "Language": "csharp", // So far we support only csharp 
  "Website": "https://aka.ms/powertoys",
  "ExecuteFileName": string, // Should be {Type}.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.{PluginName}.dll
  "IcoPathDark": string, // Path to dark theme icon. The path is relative to the root plugin folder 
  "IcoPathLight": string // Path to light theme icon. The path is relative to the root plugin folder 
}
  • Do not use plugin name or PowerToys as prefixes for entities inside of the plugin project
  • The plugin has to have Unit tests. Use MSTest framework
  • To enable localization add LocProject.json file to the plugin root folder. For details see localization.md
  • Plugin's output code and assets have to be included in the installer Product.wxs
  • Test the plugin with a local build. Build the installer, install, check that the plugin works as expected
  • All plugin's binaries have to be included in the signed build pipeline.user.windows.yml
  • The plugin target framework has to be .NET Core 3.1. All dependencies have to have .NET 5 version

Some localization steps can only be done after the first pass by the localization team to provide the localized resources. In the PR that adds a new plugin, reference a new issue to track the work for fully enabling localization for the new plugin.
