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