It works fine if I add a new html file in an existing folder in App_Plugins instead of creating a new folder and configuring the html in Dashboard.config. Can you please suggest if I am doing anything wrong.
Do you have a 'package.manifest' file in your /App_Plugins/CustomAdminDashboard folder?
and what is in your .html file?
Other tips when debugging custom dashboards is make sure the cache is cleared when you make a change, so open dev tools in Chrome, right click refresh and choose 'Empty Cache and hard reload'
The errors above are they absent? if you have no dashboard config referring to your html file at all... eg wondering if they are always there, or related to the adding of the config? and if so, is the dashboard.config ok, eg not missing a closing tag or anything.
Thank you Marc for your response. Yes, the folder contains package.manifest file but it doesnot content anything- just start and end Curly braces {}.
The html contents basic static content- simple text to test.
I tried using different browser- still the same error.
If I comment the control tag in the dashboard.config file, it works but I see nothing in the dashboard except the tab- So, I can tell that the config file is correct.
This is so weird. For some reason, if the folder name contains word "Admin", it throws error. If I rename it to "Custom" or "Test", it works fine. I have no clue what is going on here....

Umbraco Beginner, I was able to create custom admin section without using
package.manifestfile.App_Plugins.customadmindashboard.htmlfile under CustomAdminDashboard folder.Dashboard.configfile.To track the issue I suggest that you set
debug=trueand provide the console error output again.Also do you have any other folders under
App_Plugins?is working on a reply...
