What and Why this error

[traarrr]

Well, today while working on a plugin...
I saw this on the console

I don't understand why it cannot load the client side js when its right there

Please help

FYI:
The code at plugin.json

{
	"id": "nodebb-plugin-global-tags",
	"url": "https://github.com/Bharatrathi27412/nodebb-plugin-global-tags",
	"library": "./library.js",
	"hooks": [
		{ "hook": "static:app.load", "method": "init" },
		{ "hook": "filter:admin.header.build", "method": "addAdminNavigation" },
		{ "hook": "action:settings.set", "method": "updateConfig" }

	],
	"scripts": [
		"node_modules/@iframely/embed.js/dist/embed.min.js",
		"public/scripts/client.js"
	],
	"modules": {
		"../admin/plugins/global-tags.js": "public/scripts/admin.js"
	},
	"scss": [
		"public/style.scss"
	],
	"templates": "public/templates"
}

@traarrr Any chance you did not run ./nodebb build?

Alternatively, could be there were some js errors causing the compilation to fail.

[traarrr]

@julian Yes, i did run build and currently trying out some ways mentioned
here

Will update if successful, will still do if not

[traarrr]

Even the quickstart plugin is giving me this error

[julian]

When you run ./nodebb build it should compile all the modules into/build... specifically for quickstart (and your plugin), /build/public/src/admin/plugins

Do you see those files there?

[traarrr]

Well, I don't see quickstart there, i tried building again and still do not see quickstart

[julian]

Check build logs for errors?

[traarrr]

But i do see my plugin there, yet it shows that error in the console...

[traarrr]

@julian
this most probably is error from quickstart,

ERROR in ./build/public/scripts-admin.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'admin/modules/colorpicker' in 'C:....\Desktop\NodeBB\nodebb\build\public'

[julian]

@traarrr sounds like maybe it's time for ./nodebb upgrade -mib

[traarrr]

Hmmm, it is working on the latest installation.

even my plugin is working fine.

Any idea why there were issues with plugin running on older versions?

[traarrr]

After a lot tries here and there I have reached the cause of this issue...
I cause is some plugins which are not running properly. It is due to this it hinders the compilation of client side JS for all the plugin which loads after that.
