I had same exact problem as what @diggyk, I think maybe we can create a new issue for improvement documentation for plugins contributors. Or maybe it’s somewhere in the docs I couldn’t find?

@emmaindal if I wanted to try hacking on a fix for this sort of thing, is there a set of directions I can follow? I tried following https://backstage.io/docs/local-dev/linking-local-packages but that did not seem to work for me. I also tried changing the dependency from version to file path of my local checkout of the backstage repo but that also didn’t work (webpack complaining about not being able to import stuff).

I’d love some help getting a dev environment setup to work on backstage PRs so I can help contribute fixes.
