Hello, I'm finding it increasingly frustrating that, whether I use the sample module file or create a new one on my MacBook with an Apple M1 Pro chip, I can upload the module to Ignition but it never transitions to ACTIVE mode. When I try to enable it, I get an error with no detailed explanation. Do you have any idea why this might be happening? I feel like I've hit a brick wall. Would appreciate any help as I do not want to install Virtual machine on my mac for it. ---

Pretty much all of us who work on MacOS are using docker as our test platform, and that has no issues at all with modules. I also have built modules with all the standard tooling on my M4 MBP and run them on a local install with no issues either. I would just use docker, and if the symptoms persist, show us the errors. ---

David thanks for the reply. I did not see any docker version of ignition so I am assuming you are using an image from the marketplace? can you please eloborate this will be big a help. Also I am seeing AppIgnition as one of the docker extension, is this what you are referring? ---

- [https://hub.docker.com/r/inductiveautomation/ignition](https://hub.docker.com/r/inductiveautomation/ignition) - [Docker Image | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/platform/docker-image) Not a bad practice, but on the flip side many of the IA developers use Apple Silicon Macs and do not use Docker for development. You haven't provided enough/any details or code. ---

I am using MAcos 26.0.1 with Apple M1 Pro. I am using Gradle within IntelliJ IDE and built the first plugin using “ignition-module-tools” and built another one using the generator. I can see both modules in the list but in “disable” state. When trying to “Enable” them gets an error but no detail even I set the logging to “DEBUG” level. My colleague using Windows has no issue at all. This is where I am stuck ---

Check the actual system logs, either via the logging web interface or the `wrapper.log` file on disk. It should be pretty clear what the failure is.
