Hey David, thanks for the comment! Usually if a plugin is generating an error upon activation WordPress will show the error by default. The only other way I would see to do it would be to check the error log or look for any errors on the site.

Peace!

Found a solution for showing error when activating plugin. In addition to enable WP_DEBUG, including this line at the beginning of the index.php (of the plugin) works:
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
