Figma library doesn't update

Can you give it another go through browser? Specifically with chrome - if you have.

Already did 😦

I have a similar issue. I have a Library file, and when I pull some components from it on another file, it also says “Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘fileUpdateRequired’”. I have pushed all the necessary updates from the Library, there’s nothing left to update. I use the desktop app, my Internet connection is stable. I reproduced the same problem on a colleague’s computer.

Anyone can help us fix this?

I figured out if you open the Library Figma file and just use CMD+C and the CMD+V in the file where you want to use the component it fixes the issue. But only for that specific component. I have 300 components… Sooo, this is more like a quickfix… I guess the error happened after the last update

I had the same issue but I think one of the following fixed it:

• Making an arbitrary change in the library file and publishing/accepting updates again
• Removing a component with a duplicate name from the library file

My guess is the first one that fixed it.

I just had the exact same error showing up.
After making some more random changes to the problematic component - it now works again.

So thanks @James_Mitchell and I’ll just confirm that your first suggestion worked for me too

Same bug happened to me.
The change i did in my file was to add a variant to a component that had none initially.
I removed the variant from the set and placed it back in, updated and published and that did the trick.
Really weird bug

This one worked for me. I just did cut, paste the same variant in same place. Thanks @Achille_Perrin

Just commenting to +1 this issue (don’t see any other way to do that)
