Hi I have published my design library to Figma Make’s private NPM repo as is described here https://developers.figma.com/docs/code/bring-your-design-system-package/.  I am able to create the project, install my library, and add all my guidelines files to the Draft and produce really cool stuff with my design system.  Editors on my team are able to click “Use in new file” and it works great for them as well.  However, once I publish a template for the whole org to use (that includes my installed library and guidelines (several files)), using the “Start from an example” chip creates a new Make project that is broken.  The guidelines are all gone and the package no longer installed, and it gives an error about missing Make files like follows:

 

❌ [vite] Internal Server Error Failed to resolve import "./styles/index.css" from "__figma__entrypoint__.ts". Does the file exist? at TransformPluginContext._formatLog (node_modules/.pnpm/vite@6.3.5_jiti@2.6.0_lightningcss@1.30.1/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-DBxKXgDP.js:42499:41) at TransformPluginContext.error (node_modules/.pnpm/vite@6.3.5_jiti@2.6.0_lightningcss@1.30.1/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-DBxKXgDP.js:42496:16) at normalizeUrl (node_modules/.pnpm/vite@6.3.5_jiti@2.6.0_lightningcss@1.30.1/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-DBxKXgDP.js:40475:23) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5) at node_modules/.pnpm/vite@6.3.5_jiti@2.6.0_lightningcss@1.30.1/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-DBxKXgDP.js:40594:37 at async Promise.all (index 1) at TransformPluginContext.transform (node_modules/.pnpm/vite@6.3.5_jiti@2.6.0_lightningcss@1.30.1/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-DBxKXgDP.js:40521:7) at EnvironmentPluginContainer.transform (node_modules/.pnpm/vite@6.3.5_jiti@2.6.0_lightningcss@1.30.1/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-DBxKXgDP.js:42294:18) at loadAndTransform (node_modules/.pnpm/vite@6.3.5_jiti@2.6.0_lightningcss@1.30.1/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-DBxKXgDP.js:35735:27) at viteTransformMiddleware (node_modules/.pnpm/vite@6.3.5_jiti@2.6.0_lightningcss@1.30.1/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-DBxKXgDP.js:37250:24)

 

Anyone running into this?

Yes I am too. Specifically when I set up a Figma Make template, publish it to the org and try and use it afterwards. I can have the AI tool “fix” it - but it doesn’t carry over any of the styling of the original - which is kind of the point of creating templates in the first place.

I’m having this exact issue as well! Figma Make template, published internally to the org, attempt to remix it, and run into the exact same error you mentioned. The files from the original template are not getting copied over. 

 

I hope Figma can quickly fix this.
