[Qgis-developer] Plugin: initGui not called on QGIS startup?

[John Stevenson]

Hi,

When QGIS starts, it calls the __init__.py and the __init__ method of my plugin, but not the initGui method.  Once QGIS has started, the plugin appears in qgis.utils.available_plugins but not in qgis.utils.active_plugins.  If I call qgis.utils.startPlugin, then __init__.py, Plugin.__init__ and Plugin.initGui are all called and the plugin becomes active.

When is initGui / startPlugin called method during QGIS loading?  Is there something that my initGui should contain (or that my __init__ should not contain) so that the initGui gets called on QGIS startup?

I’m using QGIS 2.12.0 on Mint 17 Mate (ubuntu 14.04).

Thanks,
John
