APOC TTL Does not load in Desktop

[rick-carpool]

Neo Desktop Version: 1.5.8.105
Database Version 5.11
APOC Version 5.11
on MacOS 12.4

I installed the APOC plugin using the Desktop UI. Default APOC functionality loads fine.

I created a file in the conf directory called apoc.conf with apoc.ttl.enabled=true

Nope, still no TTL

I put a copy of it it in every single directory in the DMBS folder (I kid you not).

Still not matter what, apoc.ttl is not available.

If I put apoc.ttl.enabled=true in the neo4j.conf file the DBMS won't even start (as expected).

@rick-carpool Just checking, are you running APOC core and/or APOC extended? In 5.x, they are packaged separately and TTL is part of APOC extended.

[rick-carpool]

It's installing "core". I opened an issue about that neo4j/neo4j#13304. But when I drop in the extended plugin apoc.conf is still not read. TTL partly works but I can't turn it off or otherwise configure it.

Ok, this is the repo for APOC core which is supported by Neo4j engineering and is included in e.g. Aura and available under 'Plugins' in Desktop. The reason that you got TTL by default in 4.4 is that APOC core and extended was packaged together then and Desktop provided the full package. This is no longer the case, as described e.g. here: https://towardsdatascience.com/what-happened-with-apoc-in-neo4j-v5-core-and-extended-edition-23994cdf0a2c.

If you have installed APOC Extended correctly and it still does not work, I would think it is a bug in APOC Extended which is a separate Labs repo, maintained by individual contributors and not officially supported by Neo4j. If you like to raise this bug, you better open a Github issue here instead: https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/neo4j-apoc-procedures/issues
