Custom task not running on remote agent.

[vbvaghela952]

So, I have created a sample task that is getting the values from the task UI and calling an API with these form data as parameters. 

This custom task worked perfectly on the Bamboo server instance on my machine. When I installed a remote agent and tried running the task in there, it gives me error saying:

"Could not execute task 'Default Custom Task' no Plugin with key 'com.custom.bamboo-plugin-demo:CustomPlugin' is installed."

When I checked the logs of remote agent it showed a few suspiciously errorneous stuff. I am sharing here for the community to better understand the problem.

Few errors in log like these and finally the last error is plugin not installed:

Which version of Bamboo do you have? Support for Atlassian scanner on remote agent was added in Bamboo 6 IIRC.

I'm running Bamboo 6.1.1 myself and I'm having the same problem.
