Description Vojtech Szocs 2021-01-27 18:38:41 UTC

There are two technical issues that prevent us from using new extension types via `console-extensions.json` file in Console static plugins:

(1) generated code ref functions are missing the `CodeRef` symbol, which is used to differentiate between regular functions vs. executable code refs

(2) validation of code refs based on Node.js `require()` breaks the build when the exposed module isn't strictly plain JavaScript

Comment 2 Vojtech Szocs 2021-02-02 18:58:58 UTC

This bug does not affect existing code in 4.7 so re-targeting to 4.8 release.

Comment 5 Yadan Pei 2021-02-25 09:41:14 UTC

1. clone latest 'master' branch of console code

# build a one-time development build of Console web app
cd frontend ; yarn dev-once

Build bridge command and run console bridge server
# cd /path/to/console_repo
# ./build-backend.sh
# oc login -u kubeadmin -p $(cat /path/to/install-dir/auth/kubeadmin-password)
# source ./contrib/oc-environment.sh
# ./bin/bridge


2. Open browser console and execute 
> window.pluginStore.getAllExtensions().filter((e) => e.pluginID === '@console/kubevirt-plugin') 

// this returns all extensions contributed by the existing Kubevirt plugin. At the end of the array, there is extension with type console.page/route/standalone 

> inspect the last element in array, Symbol(CodeRef): true is there

{type: "console.page/route/standalone", properties: {…}, flags: {…}, pluginID: "@console/kubevirt-plugin", pluginName: "@console/kubevirt-plugin", …}
flags: {required: Array(0), disallowed: Array(0)}

also run `yarn build` within frontend directory succeeded without errors
