Hi there, I am new to Ignition module development. I read the “gateway-webpage” example from the ignition-sdk-example in github and trying to build a similar module by myself. I create a new module by using maven archetypes. Then copy the code from the example to my new created directory. But there is a localization error. The properties of the module are not configured properly. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/0/a0920d4201dd6464274722d17ab7f23e6e531c43.png) Compared with the example code, the only change is the groupId and moduleId. I do not know why the example code can work properly but my new created directory can not. example code: [GitHub - ChichiZhou/ignitiontest2](https://github.com/ChichiZhou/ignitiontest2) my code: [GitHub - ChichiZhou/ignitiontest](https://github.com/ChichiZhou/ignitiontest) ---

To answer my own question. There is a log saying that `java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name com/hezho/makework/***, locale en_US`. This means the directory is not detected by maven. The solution is to create the directory again manually. Then restart the Gateway using `gwcmd -r` ---

Running into this issue right now... Could you expand on what you mean by recreating the directory manually? Which directory and how? ---

Unfortunately, zhouhcupb hasn't been seen in two years, so hopefully somebody else can provide the answer. ---

Please add resource file like module\_gateway.properties under src/main/resouce and add your strings ---

I did. I did same things as described in the SDK example, and build from scratch.. I added resource (I use IDEA), I even added two resource files with different locales, EN-US.. and then I " BundleUtil.get().addBundle("ParamValues", this.getClass(), "ParamValues");" in the gateway startup block, it just can't add, I am not sure why, file is presented.. in the debugger mode, when I add variables in watch list, I can see that under previously created local EN-US, you have a list with all parameter values. However, when I added my bundle, under name in watch list in debugger the list is empy, there are no locale attached.. I opened doco java class, there are phrase that if bundle not specified, will be used default, and default shows question marks.... I can't attach bundle not sure why.. and can't link EN-US locale..

Could you please attached screenshots where you use your strings and your reources hierarchy. I load bundle by following: BundleUtil.get().addBundle(DesignerHook.class.getSimpleName(), DesignerHook.class.getClassLoader(), DesignerHook.class.getName().replace('.', '/')); ---

All standard, but when you use example Home Page, all works, I do not know where is difference and what is the difference. if you clone from git project and build all works, I created project from archetype, something missing perhaps. I just think that something missing in POM file some dependency but not sure which one. Ilya. ---

What's your package name in GatewayHook? I assume you should create hierarchy like resources/org/efficientia/OFSParamValues.properties if your package name is org.efficientia. ---

this is from example. and I think that archetype created folders I did not. you can't create package, idea not allow just only folder. and in debug mode, I saw that it is mounting, I can browse object, it just not containing elements in the list. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/f/6f03abd682f9ad5d754ced55ecbc65611035f0db.png)
