Has anyone tried making custom charts with Superset as per preset.io blog?

So I have followed: https://preset.io/blog/2020-07-02-hello-world/ for creating a simple hello-world plugin and also followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6up5x_iRbI&t=936s

It worked really smooth in there but when I try it at my end, I run into a lot of issues. I tried running it on docker as well, still it didn't work. Pypi version seems to be outdated. Here's the error i get when I try to run npm run prod:

ERROR in ./src/visualizations/presets/MainPreset.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@superset-ui/plugin-chart-hello-world' in '/home/spidey/apache_superset/superset-dev/incubator-superset/superset-frontend/src/visualizations/presets'

When I open the MainPreset.js file:

Here is how it looks: enter image description here And the bottom configuration: enter image description here

Going back to superset-frontend/node-modules/@superset-ui/ I have: enter image description here

When I run npm run dev-server: enter image description here But since I am running it on Virtual Instance so I can't open up the browser and check, whereas when I try npm run prod the error still persists: enter image description here

Solution

  • Somehow npm link doesn't seem to work. Resolved by copying the chart-plugin-hello-world file directly to the superset-frontend/node-modules/@superset-ui/ directory. This is some issue with npm link hope it resolves in future.
