I am currently in the process of creating a new panel plugin by following the tutorial located here: Create Plugin and here Build your first plugin.
Steps I followed in accordance with the tutorial:
npm init @grafana/plugin
selected panel type, name, description and so on…
npm i
npm run dev
I got an error by npm run dev:
ERROR in ./module.ts

Can someone provide assistance? I expected it to work smoothly since the instructions are directly from Grafana, and I am following the prescribed steps. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi there @companymvms - this is due to a bug which was introduced in swc/core which was released yesterday. It has since been fixed, we’re just waiting for the new release.
For now, you’ll need to downgrade to the previous version "@swc/core": "1.3.75" in your package.json
Thank you very much @davidharris . Which version exactly it is working? I tried 1.3.76 and 1.3.62 and got the same error … I tried 1.3.0 and I got only this error now:
ERROR in ./module.ts
Module build failed (from ../node_modules/swc-loader/src/index.js):
Error: failed to handle: base_dir(./src) must be absolute. Please ensure that `jsc.baseUrl` is specified correctly.
Yes, I remember. I’m encountering the same error even with version 1.3.75. Additionally, I deleted the package-lock.json file and re-ran npm i just to be certain.
Hi @companymvms you need to set "@swc/core": "1.3.75" (notice the removal of the ^ symbol) and run npm install later to see this issue fixed. Or you can do it all in a single command without having to modify any file yourself by running npm install -E @swc/core@1.3.75 (notice -E to install the exact version)
If you keep the ^ it’ll keep installing the latest patch version even if you specify the specific patch version yourself.
For anyone looking to fix this problem:
A new version of create-plugin had been released that has 1.3.75 pinned as a dependency. Update to the latest create-plugin configuration:
npx @grafana/create-plugin@latest update
Note: make sure to select “Yes, all of them” when prompted Would you like to update the following dependencies in the package.json?
Then run npm install to install the correct dependencies.
it works fine for me with 1.3.75.
