I'm developing a component and Joomla can't find it using Discover utility. This is my component xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<extension type="component" method="upgrade" version="3.5">
  <name>com_bowling</name>

  <files folder="site">
    <folder>views</folder>
  </files>

  <administration>
  </administration>
</extension>

This is frontend only component so there is no admin files. I've placed this xml file in /administrator/components/com_bowling folder. Currently using Joomla version 3.10.11.

Am I missing something?

Discover install does not seem to work with com_-prefixed manifest files. The file name must be bowling.xml in your case.

  • Strange, it worked for me. Did you click "Discover" button again?
