When I use the example in waitForTask doc the widget doesn’t stop rendering const { widget } = figma const { Text, useEffect, waitForTask, useSyncedState } = widget function WaitForTaskExample() { const [textContent, setTextContent] = useSyncedState("text", "Initial") useEffect(() => { waitForTask(new Promise(resolve => { // Simulate async work setTimeout(() => { setTextContent("Final") // Resolve the task resolve() }, 1000) })) }) return <Text>{textContent}</Text> } widget.register(WaitForTaskExample) On the setTextContent the widget seems to restart and rendering again and again

Whenever we have a branch open from a main file and are doing work, we are constantly getting updates that the branch is different from the main file. This is to be expected, as I am working in the branch, but this is persistent and never goes away. The moment I start making changes in a branch, I am presented with a dialog stating there are changes in the main file, even if it hasn’t been touched. Then if I click Update and Keep Main, I will end up overwriting all of the work that has been done on the branch. Not sure why this is happening, but it is certainly frustrating as it negates the whole point of a branch.

If you change the name of the instance by calling the rename function, the documentchange event will fire and indicate that the name property has been changed, but if you undo/redo, this event will not fire. Steps to reproduce: Place an instance of any component on the canvas, or select an existing one. Run the plugin with the documentchange event listener. figma.on( 'documentchange', ({documentChanges}) => { console.log(documentChanges) } ); Change the name of the selected instance using Figma’s native rename function. Undo and redo the last action. Expected result: The documentchange event will fire and print an array of objects to the console. Actual result: The documentchange event does not fire.

If you have some problems with changing color while using variants in Figma, Here is a solution: All in all, you need to Flatten each layer of a variant, for this, as you know Figma doesn’t have the Flatten each layer option, so I suggest you download the Automator plugin. After that, Select all layers (you can do this by pressing Enter while selecting the parent layer) Run Automator > Object > Flatten selection, then click Flatten each layer. Done!

When I have plugin panel open such as “Tokens Studio”, opened submenu is overlapped by plugin. Problem is that I can not have them on the side as overlapping submenus.

I am trying to change the image But I can’t choose image

Form input values become unresponsive on reopening of app after closing it from the plugin API figma.closePlugin(). Well it works fine when we reopen after closing it from inbuilt plugin ‘X’ icon placed the top right corner.

When i click publish plugin button, nothing happened. Some error info shows in dev tools.

I had a component with that had a Color Style layered in this manner: Image Layer (85% opacity) – just the Figma’s native placeholder checkered background #858585 Solid Layer (beneath Image) I recently updated this Color Style and added an image to replace the placeholder checkered version. When I publish the update and update my component instance on a separate file, the error “An invalid image or thumbnail was removed.” For now, I’ve been able to avoid this error by layering the Color Style in this manner: Image Layer (0% opacity) – the original checkered background image layer New Image Layer (85% opacity) – the image I intended to replace the placeholder #858585 Solid Layer Is there a way to fix this issue so that I don’t need to layer redundant image layers? Thanks!

I was working on a branch and was at a point I needed to update the branch with recent updates from the main file. When resolving the conflict between main & branch (it was the only conflict and was an entire Section that I had been working on in the branch) I chose Keep Branch, it kept everything as expected EXCEPT for all the arrow styles on lines that I had updated in that Section. I noticed the arrows weren’t displaying correctly in the branch window when viewing the conflict side-by-side, even though they were clearly a different style in the branch itself.

In my colour library “Light Theme” I have a colour style called “contentDefault” if I create a rectangle in the library, apply this style and then run figma.currentPage.selection[0].fillStyleId I get the fill style ID S:1eab1fd8b8857bf87c862afd0590934a23ac0368, (key changed). If I run figma.getLocalPaintStyles() I can see this same key appears as a local paint style in my library. The library is published and up to date. In a separate local file I have 2 different text elements and they both have the style “contentDefault” applied to them, but when I run figma.currentPage.selection[0].fillStyleId they have two different values: One is S:1eab1fd8b8857bf87c862afd0590934a23ac0368,15:73 while the other is S:effba5ca507e1ec8b0b745807cfb2da2e0c3fcdb,2398:0. If I open the colour style selector it indicates that both of these styles are “contentDefault” and both are in the “Light theme” librar

Documentation for this feature is here figma.com but when I try to use it, I get this error figma.createImageAsync is not a function Even in the app I get the same error Thanks!

Hi I thought this was a missing thing in Figma but it seems it’s not working in Windows only. For instance… SHIFT + 0 SHIFT + 1 SHIFT + 2 It’s very useful and more productive to have them. Thanks

There’s a couple of times, the search function in Figma just breaks down and only shows me community files. It happens randomly and also happens to a lot of people in my org. Frustrating because I have to go through a list of files to search for the one I need

I have 10 public files and was quite happy about the possibility to lock frames/content but the insert links where still clickable. Has this option been removed? Is there a new way of doing this? Was quite nice for the user imo. Like within a readme file.

Hello, my name is Kamilla I am using Figma as my main tool, also I use plugin-called “Dark mode switcher” and it keeps my time, helps me to complete my works as fast as it possible. But now I ran with a problem like-Dark mode switcher does not work. Please tell me, what happened, and how long should I wait for the solution of the problem?

I’m getting some kind of weird rendering when importing a svg using fractalNoise as filter. here’s the output: the noise looks something like this <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:svgjs="http://svgjs.dev/svgjs" viewBox="0 0 700 700" width="700" height="700"><defs><filter id="nnnoise-filter" x="-20%" y="-

While my plugin is running, I converted group into frame. So, I checked my selected node on my console using figma.currentPage.selection[0]. It shows me the previous state of a node, however

The title says almost all. I would like to kindly request a couple things regarding the Developer VM: Add a checkmark to the menu item when it is activated If possible, on reloads, keep the downloaded plugin code name instead of incrementing a suffix. If you are concerned about cache, just append a random query string to the request. Changing the name of the file confuses the Debugger that also has to reload all source maps Improve the documentation about the Developer VM in the API docs. Essentially it says “When the option is enabled, these plugins will run in the browser’s JavaScript engine, so that developer tools can be used”. And that we need a debugger statement to find our code. No mention to sourcemaps (hugely important) In fact, with Dev VM on you don’t need the debugger. Sim

I’ve found a couple of situations where it is more likely to crash: stepping over a figma global variable access opening the watch panel (adding a variable there is instant death of the process) taking too long in step-by-step execution Do any other developer experience the same issues? Is there anything that can be done at least to alleviate the issue?

In Figma API there exists isMaskOutline property on Frame like objects https://www.figma.com/developers/api#node-types isMaskOutlineBoolean default: false Does this mask ignore fill style (like gradients) and effects? But am missing this data in Figma Plugin API: figma.com Can found only isMask but isMaskOutline seems to be missing. Is my observation correct, or is this field renamed or accessible in some different way? Thank you for response Jan

I am trying to merge my branch into master but while the blank diff screen is loading I get the following red message “An error occurred”. Checking the console I see there’s a status 500 while trying to load the results.
