[Qgis-developer] "This plugin is broken, invalid syntax"

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hi,

the problem is not Python not liking the "-" but that the name of the
folder inside the zip package did not match the plugin name.

The error message that appears when you upload such a plugin should be
clear enough, if it isn't please suggest a better error message and I
will change it:

" Plugin name mismatch: the plugin main folder name in the compressed
file (QgisGeoJSONExportPlugin) is different from the original plugin
package name (QgisGeoJSONExportPlugin-master)."
