Bug with "fill container" not filling container is getting worse

Here’s a bit of code that fixes fill-container items that aren’t filling the container. Basically, it finds each item with fill-container and sets it to fill-container again.

I’ve tested it a bunch and it’s caused no harm (and it fixes the problem), and you can always undo after running the plugin to revert any changes.

You will need to install the plugin “Scripter” to run the code

If you run it with nothing selected, it will examine all items on the page; otherwise, it only examines all items in the selection.

// open the console to see progress: Plugins > Development > Open Console when in the Figma client
let nodes = [] as any[];
let fillUpdateCount = 0;
if (figma.currentPage.selection.length === 0){
    console.log("Finding all nodes...");
	nodes = figma.currentPage.findAll();
} else {
    console.log("Finding all nodes in selection...");
	const selections = figma.currentPage.selection as any[];
	for (const selection of selections){
    	if ('FRAME|GROUP|INSTANCE|COMPONENT|COMPONENT_SET'.includes(selection.type)){
    		nodes = [...nodes, ...selection.findAll()];
		}
	}
}
for (const node of nodes) {
    if (node.layoutGrow === 1) {
    	node.layoutGrow = 1;
    	if (node.parent.type !== 'PAGE' ){
	    	if (node.parent.layoutMode === undefined){
	    		console.log(`ERROR: layoutMode of parent node "${node.parent.name}" of node "${node.name}" is undefined`)
	    	} else {
    			console.log(`${node.parent.layoutMode.toLowerCase()} fill updated on node "${node.name}"`);
	    	}
	    	fillUpdateCount++
	    }
    }
	if (node.layoutAlign === 'STRETCH'){
    	node.layoutAlign = 'STRETCH';
	    if (node.parent.type !== 'PAGE' ){
    		console.log(`${node.parent.layoutMode === 'VERTICAL' ? 'horizontal' : 'vertical'} fill updated on node "${node.name}"`);
	    	fillUpdateCount++
	    }
	}
}
print(`Done. Nodes examined: ${nodes.length}. Fill layouts updated: ${fillUpdateCount}.`);

It can take several seconds to run. A page with 110,000 fill layouts (horizontal + vertical) took around 45 seconds. Status is output to the Console.
