Getting a component's publish status in branches vs the main file

There is a fairly big difference in the behavior of getting the publish status of a component in a team library when you use .getPublishStatusAsync vs figma.importComponentByKeyAsync when you are in the main file and then when you use the same inside a branch. I want to ask if this is intended behavior, or if they are meant to be functionally the same? The documentation for .getPublishStatusAsync here says that it “Gets the status of this style/component in the team library.” with no mention that the behavior is different if you’re in a branch or not. What happens in a main file: When a published component is called in the API with the method on the node .getPublishStatusAsync, the code returns “CURRENT” What happens in a branch: The node returns “UNPUBLISHED” Using the other method in either the main file or a branch: Yet calling figma.importComponentByKeyAsync(node.key) here it will return the published component. It says that it Loads a component node from the team library. Promise

`windows.isSecureContext` returns false in the UI

I’m failing to access the navigator.clipboard object and noticed what the title says. Is there a workaround for it? The clipboard is not the only feature we are missing. Thank you.

Branch copying and errors in branch components when updating a master file

At the moment there is no functionality to copy a branch from an already created branch. This functionality is very much needed for full-fledged work in branches. Since it often happens that you need to copy a branch with an already created design and make changes to the new branch. Will there be this functionality? At the moment when you change variants or a master component in the master file, this component is reset to zero in all branches when you update the branch. This is a strange solution since all branches are copies of the master file, like working with parent components and its copies in the same file. Changing the paddings inside the master component should not reset borders radius or color style settings. But at the moment it does. Using branches for design copies with variations becomes useless in branches because when you update a branch to the actual components from the master file, all the settings of the modified components are reset. Will this be fixed?

Sticky end lines?

Why I can’t stick line to any point of one object? Only 4 points (up, down, right and left). I need to connect lots of lines to object but they all go to one points and that’s look bad. In instruction is said To place the end point of a line on any part of an object (and avoid the snapping the line to the side of the object), hold down ⌘ Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) while moving the line. But it doesn’t work for me

Inconsistent plugin behavior in figma app and browser

I use drop event to receive data from plugin and create component in figma, it works fine in figma app but not in browser. figma.on('drop', event => { const { items, node } = event if (items.length > 0 && items[0].type === 'text/json') { const data = JSON.parse(items[0].data) as IconData const instance = newIconFromData(data) instance.x = event.x instance.y = event.y // not all nodes have appendChild method ;(node as PageNode | FrameNode | GroupNode | SectionNode).appendChild(instance) figma.currentPage.selection = [instance] return false } return true }) I also tested on Material-Symbols and it doesn’t drop properly in browser too. My os version is macos 13.2 and browser verison is chrome 110, and there’s no error message in console after I drop. Any idea on how to solve this? Thanks.

Unable to pull branch

The organization version I am using is suddenly unable to pull branches for the entire team today. It was normal before this, I checked all the settings without any changes, is this a BUG? Or is this a result of a Figma update? Prompt that I do not have permission when pulling a branch? The editing permission under My Organization is already enabled. I don’t know what is the reason, does anyone know?

`exportAsync` function returns Uint8Array instead of SVG string when used with `.then()`

I’m trying to use the exportAsync function to export a Figma node as an SVG file in my plugin. When I use await, the function returns the SVG code as a string, but when I use .then(), it returns a Uint8Array object instead. After some investigation, I realized that the exportAsync function returns a Uint8Array object representing the binary data of the exported file. When I use await, the Uint8Array object is automatically converted to a string using the default character encoding, but when I use .then(), I need to manually convert the Uint8Array to a string. I suggest that the exportAsync function should always return the SVG code as a string, regardless of whether it’s used with await or .then(). This would make the API more consistent and easier to use. In the meantime, I found a workaround for this issue by manually converting the Uint8Array to a string using the following code: const svgString = String.fromCharCode.apply(null, uint8Array); I hope this helps other developers who en

Unable to drag and drop entities on Figma web via self-hosted UI

Hey, we recently launched a plugin for FigJam (https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1220696620350131525) that exports notes as Stickies and clips as Embeds. This works fine for Figma Desktop App but doesn’t replicate same behaviour on Figma on web. We have followed the official guide for implementing drag and drop for self-hosted UI. Guide: https://www.figma.com/plugin-docs/creating-ui/#drop-events-from-a-non-null-origin-iframe Official Code Example: https://github.com/figma/plugin-samples/blob/master/icon-drag-and-drop-hosted/index.html We’re now left with the following doubts Is it not possible to implement drag and drop for self-hosted UI on Figma Web? If yes, what else should we do to ensure the same? Currently its not possible to test Figma plugins for web during development, could there be a way to test how plugins would function on web in the future? This would help us avoid unexpected behaviour after we launch or update the plugin.

Why does assigning vectorPaths concatenate data: values?

Update branch from main disregarding changes I've made

I’m working in a branch and have made a lot of edits. Normally I update from main every now and then to get things up to date and to get rid of the popup, but when I did it today I see that the page I’m working on is changed when opening the dialog. The preview in “Keep branch” is reflecting this and showing me an older version. In the background I can see that the view shifts into the “Version history” view which is very strange. It’s driving me mad. Please help

Library does not recognize when a new component is added

Sometimes when I add a new component and go to publish the change, the library file shows that it is up-to-date and there are no updates. I cannot copy + paste these components where they need to go either (the linking breaks). Occasionally, entire pages full of components become unlinked and do not appear in other files.

When in a Branch, Main File Constantly Pushes Updates

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.
