Question

Can’t search for paths in Code Connect UI

This is what I want to connect path
The permissions look right

Hi Figma community,

 

I’m trying to use the newly released Code Connect UI and link it to a GitHub repository in our org. The GitHub App appears to be installed and authorized correctly (see attached screenshots). However, when I reach the “Select directory / path” step, the search field doesn’t return any directories. Typing known folders (e.g., src, packages, app) shows “No results.”

 

Expected

Being able to search/filter directories in the repo and select one.

 

Actual

The path/directory search returns no results and the list stays empty.

 

What we’ve checked/tried

  • GitHub App permissions look correct (org + repo installed; read access where required)

  • Tried both Figma web and desktop (macOS), including a private/incognito session

  • Disconnected/reconnected Code Connect, reinstalled the GitHub App, refreshed the repo list

  • Reproduces on a monorepo (/packages/*) and a simpler single-package repo

 

Questions

  • Is path/directory search gated by an indexing delay, specific branches, or a required config file?

  • Is there a known issue we can clear?

I’m trying to connect our repo in code connect, but everytime I click on the select repository button, it redirects to a page on github where the only option is to create a new repo.

 

Connection on github looks good

 

This is what I get when trying to select the repo from Figma

 

 

Just to add I’ve tried removing the app from Github and re-installing it multiple times, but no change

Is code connect the same as Figma Make?
In https://developers.figma.com/docs/code-connect/code-connect-ui-github/ it does not mention it needing to be a new repository. It seems the opposite since it mentions needing to choose a repository.
