Developed built extension doesn't show in prod

[rehida1750]

I have built an extension that adds 2 bool filters to leads using the ext-template. It works fine in the dev env. When I build it `npm run extension` and upload the zip to prod, the extension is correctly uploaded and installed, and I can see on the prod server the files are there. However, the filters do not show on the prod site at all (they show on the dev site though).

Cleared cache and even restarted PHP. Also ran the rebuild command. Logs are empty. What else should I try?

Here's what I've noted so far:

The AfterInstall script does run when the extension is installed,

$this->container->get('dataManager')->clearCache(); 

because we can see the cache being cleared and updated. In the metadata.php and objMetadata.php, the boolFilterClassNameMap is correctly added:

'ReceivedEmailFrom' => 'Espo\\Modules\\CustomCRMExtension\\Select\\Lead\\BoolFilters\\ReceivedEmailFrom',
'NotReceivedEmailFrom' => 'Espo\\Modules\\CustomCRMExtension\\Select\\Lead\\BoolFilters\\NotReceivedEmailFrom', 

.

What seems NOT to be in the cache though, is the `boolFilterList` - I think it should have added entries like

0 => ['name' => 'ReceivedEmailFrom'], 

, but it does not. It does seem to be added in the DEV env though. Manually adding those entries in prod (just for testing) doesn't seem to do anything either.

Still investigating. Any pointers would be very helpful. Anyone face this before?

Okay, I think I've found a bug:

When I have code in custom/Espo/Custom, and a module in custom/Espo/Modules/{modulename} - it seems that the former overrides the latter. When I removed the former, the latter was correctly shown and added to the boolFilterList and works as expected now...

Is it expected that you can't mix Custom code and extensions?

No bug here. Sigh...
