In short, the BackendMenu sideMenu is not displaying and main menu is not turning active for my plugin.

I'm sure this has something to do with BackendMenu::setContext(), but I have been comparing my code to the RainLab.User and RainLab.Blog plugins and I do not see what is missing.

mycompany/myplugin/Plugin.php

<?php namespace MyCompany\MyPlugin;

use Backend;
use System\Classes\PluginBase;
class Plugin extends PluginBase
{
    public function pluginDetails()
    {
        return [
            'name'        => 'My Plugin',
            'description' => 'A really cool plugin.',
            'author'      => 'MyCompany',
            'icon'        => 'icon-leaf'
        ];
    }
    public function registerNavigation()
    {
        return [
            'myplugin' => [
                'label'         => 'My Plugin',
                'url'           => Backend::url('mycompany/myplugin/mycontroller'),
                'icon'          => 'icon-envelope',

                'sideMenu' => [
                    'mycontroller'       => [
                        'label'         => 'My Controller',
                        'url'           => Backend::url('mycompany/myplugin/mycontroller'),
                        'icon'          => 'icon-envelope',
                    ],
                ]
            ]
        ];
    }
}

mycompany/myplugin/controllers/MyController.php

<?php namespace MyCompany\MyPlugin\Controllers;

use BackendMenu;
use Backend\Classes\Controller;

class MyController extends Controller {

    public $implement = [
        'Backend.Behaviors.FormController',
        'Backend.Behaviors.ListController'
    ];

    public $pageTitle = "My Controller";

    public $bodyClass = 'compact-container';

    public $listConfig = 'list_config.yaml';
    public $formConfig = 'form_config.yaml';

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        BackendMenu::setContext('MyCompany.MyPlugin', 'myplugin', 'mycontroller');
    }
}

I've registered the navigation and set the BackendMenu context as prescribed to others. Any ideas?

Solved! Haha! A missing character in public function __construct. I think I'll change my IDE colors, it was clear as day when posting it here.
