Typescript to figma plugin message "WAS" working fine. But not now!

Hi

  1. I created a Figma plugin (the orange rectangle creation as per Figma documentation)
  2. When I send message from HTML to typescript, it is working fine.
  3. I wrote a message handler in HTML. So that when I send a message from typescript to HTML, I can process it. Trust me, it was working fine. But not now.

Example is here…

in typescript,
Figma.ui.postMessage({ type: ‘totalSelected’, totalItemsSelected: selection.length });

in HTML,
window.onmessage = async (event) => {
const message = event.data.pluginMessage;
const type = message.type;
log(“Message:”, type, message);
console.log(“POST RECEIVED…”,message.type)
}

It was working… I am not sure, what happened :frowning:

Can you specify what the actual error message is? Also, can you put your plugin code into a Github gist so we can see what you’re trying to do?

Here’s an example: code.ts · GitHub

To be honest I have a good news. I resolved the problem by going to Figma documentation, from there I got a github repository of Figma sample projects. There I found a PostMessage() example, I used that and it started working.
