Hi all,
I am trying to test a new Stata module that is being developed by a colleague. He has it working on a PC where the .ado file works when manually added to the directory “C:\ado\plus\c”. However, I am using a Mac and have not been able to replicate his success. I have manually added the .ado file to "/Applications/Stata 13/ado/base/c/" and to "~/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/c/", which is where all my other modules (downloaded using "ssc install") live.
However, when I try to use commands supported by the programme, I just see error r(199) "unrecognised command: commandnew".
Stata appears to see the file correctly when I use "which commandnew" as it returns appropriate information, i.e. "/Applications/Stata 13/ado/base/c/commandnew.ado" then "*! commandnew.ado by John Smith on 07/03/2019".
However, when I search through installed packages using "ado dir", it doesn't appear alongside all the commands that were installed from the SSC archive.
Can anyone think what I might be doing wrong? I have attached a screenshot showing the output from "sysdir".
