Restrict products to purchase using Observer not trigger

Question

Condition: I have restricted category of products [category id = 680, 894, 895], this category of products should be purchase alone, not mixed with other products.

Workout: Case 1: If cart had other products, if the customer tries to add restricted category products trigger observer like not eligible to add to cart and display a message like If you want this product, Purchase alone not mixed with other Products

case 2: If cart had a restricted category of products if customer try to add non-restricted products trigger observer like not eligible to add to cart and display a message like Cart has Special Product you can not add another

code :

app/etc/modules/Gta_KolupadiRestrict.xml

Observer not trigger. Does anyone help me?

can you change the event to controller_action_predispatch_checkout_cart_add and recheck? — Mohit Kumar Arora, Aug 05 '19 at 13:58
@MohitKumarArora Just i test observer working or not, observer not working, update with your code -> https://justpaste.it/4qf3f observer.php -> https://justpaste.it/5w87x log file not created — zus, Aug 06 '19 at 08:02
I also checked in the latest Magento. It is not working either. I also tried other events but no success. — Mohit Kumar Arora, Aug 06 '19 at 09:43
FYI finally found the error, Actually case sensitive codepool to codePool, now working. — zus, Aug 06 '19 at 10:00
But when I rechecked your question, there was already changed from codepool to codePool. Anyway, great to know that your problem has got resolved. — Mohit Kumar Arora, Aug 06 '19 at 10:02

In config.xml:

<class>Kolupadi_Restrict_Model_Observer</class>

should be

<class>Gta_KolupadiRestrict_Model_Observer</class>

Change your app/etc/modules/Gta_KolupadiRestrict.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Gta_KolupadiRestrict>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Gta_KolupadiRestrict>
    </modules>
</config>

Clear cache.

[update]

config.xml looks like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Gta_KolupadiRestrict>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
        </Gta_KolupadiRestrict>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <models>
            <gta_kolupadirestrict>
                <class>Gta_KolupadiRestrict_Model</class>
            </gta_kolupadirestrict>
        </models>
        <events>
            <checkout_cart_product_add_after>
                <observers>
                    <gta_kolupadirestrict_checkout_cart_product_add_after>
                        <class>gta_kolupadirestrict/observer</class>
                        <method>cartevent</method>
                    </gta_kolupadirestrict_checkout_cart_product_add_after>
                </observers>
            </checkout_cart_product_add_after>
        </events>
    </global>
</config>

app/code/local/Gta/KolupadiRestrict/Model/Observer.php

<?php

class Gta_KolupadiRestrict_Model_Observer
{
    public function cartevent($observer)
    {
        error_log('hey');
    }
}

Now you can see log for every add to cart press.
