I have a strange problem, my AU plugin's GUI is not showing in Ableton Live 8. It works fine in Garageband, Live 7 and Reaper. Also if I compile the IPlug Example and link with the same IPlug library it does work in Live8 (and I compared the compile settings - they look the same as I am using). The VST version of my plugin works fine.

The plugin itself seems to be working, just no GUI window comes up.

I can't think what can be wrong. Anyone else had a similar problem?

No problems here. I have Live 8.1.4, and the AU version of my ComboV project loads just fine with its GUI included.

Can't you selectively leave out GUI parts, so you can see when it goes wrong? E.g. you start with only a background (which probably will work), and then add stuff again until Live stops showing the GUI.

does auval give you any errors? it seems to be pretty useful for debugging au problems

Thanks for the ideas guys! I tried auval, it passed...

I tried ifdefing stuff out, but no luck! I have removed all of my code except MakeGraphics, AttachBackground and AttachGraphics and still no window opens. I tried ComboV, as you say it works fine.

I'm going to look at all the compile settings again, and maybe try going the other way: changing the Example until it stops working.

All very strange.

perhaps you will see the error(s) in console.app ?

No, nothing in the console...

But I just found the problem, it is that I am stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid!

I somehow must have removed IPlugAU_ViewFactory.mm from the project. Adding it back in fixed everything (well apart from 2 lost days tracking it down!).
