Troubleshooting local plugin development for Cloudinary asset source in Sanity

Hello good people at Sanity! I am wanting to extend the

sanity-plugin-asset-source-cloudinary

with video and multi asset selection. I’m trying to get it to run as a plugin locally, but I’m getting an error loading the module

'part:@sanity/components/dialogs/fullscreen'

which is the first

part:

module it asks for. I’ve added the plugin as a local yarn link in my monorepo project. Any ideas?

Hey Mike! Great idea to extend the Cloudinary asset source plugin with those features ⚡ Just to rule out something: have you tried adding the plugin source simply as a folder to

/plugins

to see if that does run successfully?

Yes, but without luck. I’m definitely doing something wrong. So I add the plugin to the plugins. And then what?

Let’s go back to the original idea as you were looking to run it as a local plugin. I just ran a test and although it wasn’t in a monorepo, it worked successfully following the steps on https://github.com/sanity-io/sanity-plugin-asset-source-cloudinary#developing-on-this-module
Is

sanity-plugin-asset-source-cloudinary

running with watch mode after successfully completing both the

npm install

and the

npm link

commands?
After bootstrapping the monorepo, did you add

sanity-plugin-asset-source-cloudinary

to your

package.json

file in the studio root folder, with version

0.1.0

?
Did

npm link sanity-plugin-asset-source-cloudinary

complete successfully in your monorepo root?
Have you added

"asset-source-cloudinary"

to the list of plugins in your

sanity.json

file? And did you restart the test studio?
Perhaps most importantly considering the error, does your studio’s

package.json

file list

@sanity/components

as a dependency?

Yes, it is running in watchmode, but I get an error because it cant find module

part:@sanity/components/dialogs/fullscreen

Yes, added it to package.json (not in root). Will try that, but I think that might be a yarn workspace thing.

I used yarn link, since the monorepo is running yarn with workspaces (and lerna)

Yes added to

sanity.json

and restarted multiple times.
Yes, I have

@sanity/components

as dep in my cms package.json

I think I’ll try your approach and ditch the monorepo and figure that one out later.

Let me know if that gets it to work 🤞

Ok, so I figured something out. By adding the symlink to the monorepo root. I am able to get things going. But when I make a change in

CloudinaryAssetSource.tsx

I get the error described above. It still seems to work tho 🤷‍♂️

This is the error I get in from

yarn watch

Maybe the error is already there in the first place in that case? We could check with the authors - I think someone on the team has been involved in the creation of this plugin, so I can share it internally too.
Happy that you seem to be able to move forward though
🚀

I think for ‘part’ errors I was seeing that because the script wasn’t executed with ‘sanity exec’ are you doing that?

No, not currently, but it looks like that is for node scripts like migrations and such?

Right, but I think you might be running into the same issue - what is the script you're running that is throwing this error? is it

sanity start

?

No, it’s

yarn watch

in the plugin

But there is definitely something wrong with the importing – which tbh is a bit magic to me. I see that I get the same error with

config:

imports

yeah - I believe every time I've seen that error with importing it's because the script was not being executed under the

sanity

binary

Ok, great thank you for the tip 🙌 I’ll see if I can find an another way of executing this

Hey , did you ever get this figured out for videos?

Yes I did. Havent gotten around to creating a PR on the original repo yet. But this should work. It’ll import 4 types

cloudinarySingleImage

,

cloudinaryMultipleImage

,

cloudinarySingleVideo

and

cloudinaryMultipleVideo

amazing, thank you, i'll take a look!

How are you importing/configuring the plugin into your project?Also, anything I can do to help out to get it set up for a PR?

Did you figure it out? If not just PM me
