Cannot find module './dist/server'

[kasperbaago]

First of all, thanks for developing and maintaining this awesome plugin for Strapi!

Just updated to the new version 3.0.0 from 2.0.7, and sadly I get an error after the update. I'm using Strapi version 4.25.8.

Looks like the strapi-plugin-update-static-content/dist/server not are included in the NPM package?

Hey @kasperbaago have you built strapi after plugin installation?

[kasperbaago]

@everythinginjs Yes, running the strapi build command before starting Strapi.

@everythinginjs , from my side also a big thanks for the updated plugin. I also have the same error as @kasperbaago.

I tried it with the following Strapi Versions and also received the same error:

• v4.24.0
• v4.25.11

Manually building your plugin to create the /dist folder just caused a new error to appear. I added this to my package.json to test it:

"build-updater": "cd node_modules/strapi-plugin-update-static-content/ && yarn build"

New Error:
Cannot find module '../admin/src/pluginId'

Also experiencing the /dist/server error

My version:

• @strapi/strapi: 4.11.1
