Virtual printer not sending POSITION_UPDATE events

Development
1

I'm developing a plugin locally with 1.3.9 and I was hoping to receive and parse POSITION_UPDATE events. I setup the virtual printer per the documentation, but I'm not receiving those events when running a print. I do get lots of Z_CHANGE, but those aren't as useful to me right now.

Is there a problem with my configuration?
How can I receive virtual POSITION_UPDATE events?

Thanks in advance.

POSITION_UPDATE only gets triggered if OctoPrint's comm layer receives a position report from the printer's firmware (or the virtual printer), usually as a response to an M114 that was sent to the printer.

Oh, that's great! The virtual printer is capable and it's just that my gcode isn't triggering it. Now back to trying to detect layer changes..

Thank you for the quick response.
