Yes. I agree. For anyone having these problems It is because you installed a plugin for the marketplace and used it to build your admin dashboard with npm.
This breaks the Strapi dashboard. For reasons that are not good.
To fix this however you need to use yarn package manager.
The steps are:
- Delete Node_modules folder
- delete package-lock.json
- yarn install
-yarn build (important to build with yarn because npm builds from cache and uses broken code from the plugin)
Well, I’m never using the plugin marketplace again. Terrible experience. Set us back for days, and now we know we can’t even extend the dashboard features like adding a better editor.
It’s been fun using Strapi these past years, and I was hopeful.
Just the migration from v3 to v4 is catastrophic, but that is for another talk.
Thanks for trying!
