Tried my 1st addon with my new installation of 5.0.4
Added the egg = to testing.cfg
seemed to buildout ok - then went to run instance fg where it broke

I have enclosed two pasties for consideration

Hope this helps

I hope this is not me ..... (but I think it is)
Just where do you add the addons, nothing is really specified it's trial and error ..... but it's a great learning curve :o)

This looks as if your version of "Products.PloneFormGen" were incompatible with Plone 5.

I would try to find out where the ERROR log entry comes from and how "PloneFormGen" tries to determine that it runs with Plone >= 4.1. This test fails with Plone 5. I would try to find out how the test could be made better.

Thx Dieter, I have literally just installed 5.0.4 as I was previously in the 4.3.x environment.

In the MS UI 4.3.x I was spoilt with an articulate buildout.cfg file, but in 5.0.4 it is minimalist forcing me into trial and error mode. I hope this adds to the installers debate. I still consider myself giving opinion as an end-user.

Best wishes to all
