Thanks for asking, As you can see [account-common 3/5] is the packed mfe which already existed when I enable mfe plugin in docker tutor. What I did was: ```auto pip install "tutor[full]" tutor plugins enable mfe # after mfe plugin enabled, I run: tutor build images --no-cache mfe # this is where the error arise ``` So yeah, I did not fork anything ---

Hi everyone this my background: I am trying to write a custom app to contribute to openedx. These are what I am trying to do: - Write a custom react app from tutor react mfe template - Write a plugin to run my react app. But I am facing errors when build images. These are the steps that I did: Step 2: Create custom react mfe from template: Go to: [GitHub - openedx/frontend-template-application: A template repository for creating Open edX frontend applications. 💿➡️📀](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-template-application/tree/master) Create new repo from this template with name: frontend\_app\_[yourmfe] Step 3: Work with plugin path: Follow the doc: [Creating a Tutor plugin — Tutor documentation](https://docs.tutor.edly.io/tutorials/plugin.html) Create plugin folder in that path: mkdir -p “$(tutor plugins printroot)” Go to the path printed from: tutor plugins printroot Step 4: Create a plugin file: Add a file [yourmfe]plugin.py in the above path Add this code: ```from @MFE_APPS.add() def _add_my_mfe(mfes): mfes["mfe_yourmfe"] = { "repository": "https://github.com/thetansabe/frontend_app_[yourmfe].git", "port": 2003, "version": "master", # optional, will default to the Open edX current tag. # "refs" : "https://api.github.com/repos/rimsha-zaib/mfe_courses/git/refs/heads", } return mfes ``` Step 5: Save config: tutor plugins enable [yourmfe]plugin.py tutor config save Step 6: Run your custom mfe: tutor images build mfe **=\> this is where I failed** tutor local launch Do you have any idea ---

Did you already do a `tutor local launch` immediately after first installing it? I’ve noticed I run into all sorts of trouble if I don’t do that first. In other words, try running a fully vanilla tutor once, even before you add any customizations. ---

Oh, maybe try running it in dev mode using a bind-mount as suggested here: > [@How can I change the appearance of login/register?](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/how-can-i-change-the-appearance-of-login-register/12267/14): > > Did you try the following? tutor mounts add /path/to/your/local/mfe/authn tutor config save tutor dev launch Keep in mind tutor local launch is emulating a production environment, and tutor dev launch is for local development. ---

hi @rediris , Thank for your help. I want to ask you this, after following your guide: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/openedx/original/2X/b/b64afe90d0a2587289c1f50eec81fdabc74ee9cc.jpeg) I’ve successfully build mfe image: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/openedx/original/2X/c/c66ff6e68c25931b35d06cda7322504e983eadad.jpeg) But the problem is, when I go to my custom mfe URL (highlighted in red), the page is blank. Can you help me with this. ---

Ah, yes. If you’re bind mounting a directory, you’ll have to manually install node packages etc, for that particular MFE. Firstly, stop all running services: `tutor dev stop`. Open up a terminal window in the directory of your MFE. I recommend using [node version manager](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) for the next step: `nvm use` - this tells node version manager to use the node version defined in the `.nvmrc` file in the root of the folder. This is probably going to be some flavor of node version 18.x.x `npm install` - installs all relevant packages for the MFE Once that’s done, you should ideally be able to run `tutor dev launch` again and have it spin up. Tip: give your MFE folder a more meaningful name - `mfe_frontendapptutor` is a bit vague and doesn’t indicate at all what the function of the application is. But it’s your call, ultimately. I hope some of that helps! FYI, I learned so much from this repository - [https://github.com/Abstract-Tech/community-theme-tutor](https://github.com/Abstract-Tech/community-theme-tutor) I’m sure this setup is specific to their needs, but the way they’ve implemented changes to stock MFEs and incorporated their own really helped me tremendously, plus the instructions helped provide some clarity (although they are a bit messy). If you do decide to try this out, be sure to only use it for local development, as they have commited a `config.yml` file with prepopulated keys/secrets visible to the public. ---

@the_tan_Nguyen I am also getting the blank page. Were you able to resolve this one too? Also, I am not mounting any dir ---

Yes, it was blank for me too, even after mounting the directory. So my process when developing MFE locally is: 1. Run Tutor LOCAL docker. 2. Configure the MFE’s env.dev file to work with Tutor local docker. 3. Hardcode the user info data. 4. Start coding. 5. Change the hardcoded lines and run `tutor build images` to integrate my MFE with tutor local for verification ---

Are you saying that even after integrating your MFE with local Tutor, your page is still blank? If that’s the case, then: - When you first run `tutor local launch` docker, a directory will be created to save your YAML config. - Go to that directory, open the .yml file, and search for your MFE plugin name. - If your MFE plugin name is not found in the YAML file, then you have set up the plugin incorrectly ---
