I tried empty.html and then I wanted to install few plugins like highlight.js, but when you click on the add more plugings nothing happened. I had to import the plugin library from online prerelaese at: TiddlyWiki Pre-release — 5.4.0-prerelease
I did just download empt.html from https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#GettingStarted then the import mechanism works as expected.
From where did you download empty.html? Your screenshot looks like if you did build empt.html locally with node.
That is true! I have downloaded the lasted code from GitHub and built my empty.html using Node.js
This is not really a new “issue”, but still needs some changes to make the experience more consistent. I am not sure yet, how we should change that. Some time is needed.
A locally created empty.html is usually made while debugging new functionality, including plugin code
This new functions may not be pushed to the internet yet
So the prerelease libraries which are loaded from https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/library/v5.4.0/index.html may not be updated yet
So it is important to open the new prerelease plugins locally, which means the new plugin code needs to run on a local server.
A local plugin server can be started using the following command, which starts at http://localhost:8888, so a local plugin server and a local TW server at port 8080 can be started at the same time
node .\tiddlywiki.js .\editions\pluginlibrary\ --build test-server
Currently those configurations are not really consistent. I’ll need to think about it.
