This week I read the help documentation and tried to create an OpenTAP plug-in. In the initial steps, I found that there are only two editors: TUI and Keysight Test Automation (License required). Is it possible to add options to Keysight Test Automation CE?

After creating the plug-in project, right-click on the solution to add a class or project. I do not see the OpenTAP option, and it is inconsistent with the video tutorial on YouTube. Can anyone give me an answer? Thank you!

version： visual studio 2022

Just choose OpenTAP UI. Once your project is created, select your project. Add next in the project file:

`<AdditionalOpenTapPackage Include="Deverloper's System CE" />`

Maybe your file already includes “Deverloper’s System”. In that case update it to CE version.

Community version should not be used.

Maybe also have a look at this post.

In the Example plugins they have added an additional configuration called Debug CE to make it easy to switch between “Deverloper’s System CE” (Debug CE) or the “Deverloper’s System” (Debug). How it is done? If you look at the Example plugin, you’ll find a file called Directory.Build.props (look for it with your file explorer, it’s not visible in VS). …
