"Cannot find module" error on custom plugin

Bass

Hi everybody, I have a nodebb forum (v13.12.3) on which I try to develop a RPG plugin. I splitted the feature in many plugins for developpement and I'm currently trying to implement the first part of my plugin. I can access the page on my ACP but I see in console a module error (so buttons will not work and I can't do anything)

admin.min.js?v=1bd513b5a7d:1 error loading admin/characters-core
Error: Cannot find module './characters-core'
at https://inquisitionem.fr/assets/admin.min.js?v=1bd513b5a7d:1:20778
at async w (https://inquisitionem.fr/assets/admin.min.js?v=1bd513b5a7d:1:33907)
at async Promise.all (index 0)

at async https://inquisitionem.fr/assets/admin.min.js?v=1bd513b5a7d:1:27585

I tried to restart from scratch but each time I face this error. I miss a point with modules but I can't find where so I ask your help.

You can find the code here: https://github.com/Bassaltent/characters-core

Thx by advance for helping me

You need to use the modules section in your plugin.json, check nodebb-plugin-quickstart for an example of how the admin page loads it's client side javascript module.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I've checked the quickstart plugin repo and updated my plugin.json and admin.js accordingly (at least I think) to the quickstart plugin and added some acp related files as described in the example but I have still the same error.

I miss something (and/or I'm dumb)

If you move the template to admin/plugins/characters-core.tpl and render it with res.render('admin/plugins/characters-core', {}); it should work.

The client side uses the path passed to res.render to import the module so in this case it needs to match the path you use in modules section in plugin.json.

Also app.alert* functions were removed so replace that with alerts.alert() from the alerts module

@baris And... it works ! I no longer have this error. Infinite thanks to you ! I better understand things now !
