[bug]: Strapi v5 Typescript create plugin not finding types

[tomh4]

What version of @strapi/sdk-plugin are you using?

• npm version: 10.5.0
• Node version: v18.20.2
• Strapi Version: 5.0.2
• Plugin version: 5.2.6

What's Wrong?

When trying to create a new plugin with strapi 5 and typescript, strapi can no longer be started if plugin is used inside strapi.
While creating the plugin the following warnings appear:

[18:40:34.406] [0] $ npm install

[18:41:32.117] [0]   npm WARN     node_modules/@strapi/admin

when starting the app the following error appears:

plugins/new-plugin/admin/src/pages/App.tsx:1:22 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@strapi/strapi/admin' or its corresponding type declarations.

1 import { Page } from '@strapi/strapi/admin';

To Reproduce

• Create a new Strapi project with Typescript
• Create a new plugin inside the Strapi project : npx @strapi/sdk-plugin init plugins/new-plugin
• Say Y to everything
• Add the plugin to the config file as told by the instructions:

[INFO] 
You can now enable your plugin by adding the following in ./config/plugins.ts
────────────────────────────────────────────
export default {
  // ...
  'generate-recipe': {
    enabled: true,
    resolve: 'plugins/new-plugin'
  },
  // ...
}

• run npm run develop

Expected Behaviour

App loads

Any solution to this ?

[jhoward1994]

Hi, thanks for submitting the issue! I wasn't able to recreate this exactly. Please could you try the following:

• Ensure the plugin is created at the path ./src/plugins/PLUGIN_NAME in you project
• If using as a local plugin, enable it as follows in config/plugins.ts (replacing the path and plugin name with yours)

export default () => ({
  "new-plugin": {
    enabled: true,
    resolve: "./src/plugins/new-plugin",
  },
});

Here I am using Strapi v5.8.0 and sdk-plugin v5.3.0 and following these steps I was able to navigate to /admin/plugins/new-plugin in the browser with no issues.
