Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dbeaver/cloudbeaver/issues/3843

Hi,
I'm preparing a PR to add support for InterSystems IRIS in CloudBeaver (already supported in DBeaver), but after completing the steps outlined in the wiki and making it through the build script, the interface does not seem to have IRIS in the list of available drivers.
Is there an additional step required or some sort of error message I should look for (maven log looks clean)? I believe I did exactly the same as how Databend support was added in #3488. Is there anything upstream in our DBeaver plugin that should be updated/enabled?

There seems to be a small typo in plugins/org.jkiss.dbeaver.ext.generic/plugin.xml in the upstream DBeaver repo, where the bundle name / path is specified as drivers/intersystem (with missing s at the end). I'm not sure there'd be a dependency on using the same writing in CloudBeaver?

A quick test and build later, fixing that (by holding on to the typo in my fork) doesn't seem to make a difference :-(

Hello @bdeboe

You need to use another ID in your code. Not drivers.isris, but drivers.intersystem
Your driver should be in the drivers/intersystem folder for your local use.

Hi @LonwoLonwo ,
thanks for your response. Can you please clarify which ID you're referring to, or which identifiers and paths need to match? Is there a requirement for any of these CloudBeaver identifiers to match the ones used in the DBeaver driver definition?
Thanks

I had same issue, sound like the tricky part is to set proper "id" in the last section of server/bundles/io.cloudbeaver.resources.drivers.base/plugin.xml
The right part of this id should come from dbeaver driver ID (e.g. can check on desktop version in connection/driver settings. Left part would be either "generic" or driver name (not sure what it depends on). It could also be some other driver name, e.g. for postgres clones it will be postgrsql

Below is server/bundles/io.cloudbeaver.resources.drivers.base/plugin.xml configured for Snowflake, Redshift, Informix and IRIS if anyone needs.
Driver folder name (under server/drivers) matters too, should be inline with plugin names I guess

Hi @mikeTWC1984 ,
thanks for weighing in! Your suggestion helped me find the permutation of brand name, product name, and typo in the original dbeaver submission that I hadn't tried before, so now I can see it in the list and create connections :-).
I'll poke around a little more to make sure from there on it behaves as expected, and await a PR I issued last month to address said typo in dbeaver (dbeaver/dbeaver#39470).

Thanks again!
benjamin
