For creating extensions, please be sure to read and understand …

… and …

It is required that the extension registrar script and the extension subfolder have the names of your top level namespace, and underscore, and then the module name of the extension.
Example …

"BarcelonaGeordie_HelloWorld.rb"

… and the subfolder with the extension’s code files be …

"BarcelonaGeordie_HelloWorld"

All of your various extensions must be inside a unique namespace module.
Each of your extensions should be separated from one another within a submodule of their own.

Example registrar script that goes in the “Plugins” folder:

# encoding: UTF-8
# File: "BarcelonaGeordie_HelloWorld.rb"
# A SketchupExtension registrar file for: "Hello World"
#
module BarcelonaGeordie
  module HelloWorld

    EXTENSION = SketchupExtension.new(
      'Hello World', 'BarcelonaGeordie_HelloWorld/HelloWorld.rb'
    )
    EXTENSION.instance_eval {
      self.description= 'An example extension that says "Hello".'
      self.version=     '1.0.0'
      self.copyright=   "© #{Time.now.year}, "<<Module.nesting[1].name
      self.creator=     'Barcelona Geordie'

      Sketchup.register_extension(self, true)
    }

  end # extension submodule
end # top level namespace module
