OK - here is error log while running in development mode:

Create a controller:

class Plugins::Sidebars::GallerysbController < Sidebars::ComponentPlugin
display_name “Gallery”
description ‘Stuff from the gallery’

setting :pie, ‘foopie’

def content
nil
end
def config
nil
end
end

Note that there are not settings defined. Now attempt to make the
plugin active, after clicking publish changes the following appears in
the development log:

Uncommenting the setting in the controller allows everthing to work
correctly.
