DevTools extract plugin

Whenever I do extract plug in keeps saying on the console "Invalid plug in name"
I thought I put the wrong name of the Phar plug in. I opened the phar to check the name and i copied it.
When i do extract again it keeps saying invalid name

 

I've tried extracting the plug in that is enabled in my server I copied the name when it says it on but it didn't work Ive opened the phar just to see the name of the plug in but no work too

 

What are you using to "open" the phar?

 

I just open the phar to see its name
I use notepad++ to open it
I use Devtools to extract

 

I use the latest version of devtools

 

Do you extract the phar first, or do you just open the phar file as a text file in Notepad++?

 

I open the phar file as text in notepad++ and copy it's name

 

It's quite simple to extract a plugin using DevTools, you just have to make sure you have the right name (plugin names are case sensitive) and the plugin is enabled. So run /plugins and check for the plugin your looking to extract make sure the plugin name is green and not red (red means an error occurred causing it to be disabled), then run /extractplugin <plugin_name> make sure the plugin name is spelt exactly as /plugins show it.

 

i know now whats the problem the plugin that im trying to extract has Incompatible API
other plugins works well but i just downloaded today the latest version of Always spawn but it keeps saying incompatible API ive opened the phar file i saw its API 1.0.0 but it says on poggit 3.0.0-ALPHA5
this is my third time downloading the plugin at first i thought its just a bug or i got files mix up

 

You're trying to open the phar as a text file, but it doesn't work that way.

If the API is not compatible, than you may have to find an alternative plugin.

 

i open the phar as a text file just to see the plugins name but what i didnt know the plugin has incompatible api

 

The plugin can't be used once it's opened as a text file

 

The phar plug in is in phar format i didn't change the file format is just opened it using notepad++
Edit: the phar plug in will still work as long as it's in phar format and as long as it's not edited

 

Not if it's been opened. Opening it corrupts it. Like @jasonwynn10 said it can't be used afterwords.

 

You can't corrupt the file by opening it, since you haven't saved it and he even says that the phar works...

 

Oh, sorry.
