Creating an addon results in errors

5

My approach of developing a customer addon is to setup a deployment plone buildout and develop my addon in the src/ folder. This then looks something like this:

[buildout]
extends =
    http://dist.plone.org/release/5.1-latest/versions.cfg

find-links =
    http://dist.plone.org/release/5.1-latest/
    http://dist.plone.org/thirdparty/

extensions =
    mr.developer

parts =
    instance

sources = sources
sources-dir = src
auto-checkout =
    my.addon

[sources]
my.addon = git git@myrepo.gitlab.com:company/my.addon

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
user = admin:admin
http-address = localhost:8080
debug-mode = on
verbose-security = on
eggs =
    Plone
    my.addon

with this approach you can simply add other addons in the [sources] section and add them either to your setup.py install_requires or your [instance] eggs ...
