The startup rule engine does not work.

Does not work in Pentaho 8.1 · Issue #11 · webdetails/startupRuleEngine · GitHub

Someone else has raised that it doesnt work in 7 either.

The error in 8 is:

Looks like this is still not working in 8.2? 

I have noticed some other plugins seem to longer work either.  Does anyone maintain them anymore?

For 8.2 I just made available in the marketplace a version that runs (I merged the pr from David - thanks!).

I don't seem to be able to use the login/logout hooks, however. Not sure what's going on there.

Yeah, I was excited until I realized the login hook wasn't working too.  I think I have solved the that (file.dir in the the list_endpoints.ktr).  Once I do some more testing I'll submit a another PR.

yeah, I got it to work with a minor change - in processRules.ktr, step _process Rules, the value for parameter rules.dir was ${folder}. I replaced that with ${rules.dir} and the kjb/ktr are being triggered on login/logout.

The issue now is that I don't see an updated status in the control dashboard. It says that a given ktr was never executed on login/logout, but that's not the case. Trying to figure out that logic...
