Check your configuration file (F:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\customizations\HelloWorld\config\HelloWorld.config) for unclosed tags or some typo.

To create button in context menu:

  1. Check that your HelloWorld.config extends contextmenu node

    <ext:contextmenus>
    <ext:add>
        <ext:extension name="Hello World" assignid="" insertbefore="cm_preview">
            <ext:menudeclaration>
                <cmenu:ContextMenuItem id="HelloWorld" name="Hello World" command="HelloWorld"/>
            </ext:menudeclaration>
            <ext:dependencies>
                <cfg:dependency>RandomStringThatNeedsToBeCompiled2</cfg:dependency>
            </ext:dependencies>
            <ext:apply>
                <ext:view name="DashboardView"/>
            </ext:apply>
        </ext:extension>
    </ext:add>
</ext:contextmenus>

  2. Modify your helloworld.js to enable button only for Components

    Common.Tridion.MVP.HelloWorld.prototype.isAvailable = function HelloWorld$isAvailable(selection)
{
    var itemID = selection.getItem(0);
    if ($models.getItemType(itemID) != $const.ItemType.COMPONENT) {
        return false;
    }
};
