  1. Scope or Timing: In Bubble’s plugin system, the initialize function only gets called once when the element is rendered or becomes visible. If there are conditions affecting whether or not the element is visible, the function may not be called as expected.

  2. Sandboxing: Bubble plugins run in a sandboxed environment. Certain browser behaviors like alert() may not work as expected due to Bubble’s restrictions. Instead, you might want to use console.log(‘test’); to see if the code is actually being triggered.

  3. Missing Event or Hook: Ensure that the element using the plugin is actually loaded and visible. If the element that should trigger the initialize event isn’t being properly rendered or hooked in the DOM, the function won’t fire.

To troubleshoot:

• Replace alert(‘test’) with console.log(‘test’) to verify if the function is being called.

• Check that the element the plugin is tied to is properly initialized and visible in the DOM when the plugin should load.
