Resolving Figma Plugin Dependency Issues

At a glance

The community member is getting an error when trying to run a plugin on Figma, and they need to copy "relume" to be able to do so. Other community members are also experiencing the same issue and asking for help. The issue seems to be related to importing screens into a Figma file that is not a Relume Figma kit. The solution provided is to either duplicate the Relume Figma kit and import the screens, or to duplicate the latest Figma kit, transfer the existing variables, and then copy/paste the previous screens into the new project. A link to a Figma community plugin for exporting and importing variables is also provided.

Any help?

Is this an error? Are you importing into a copy of the latest figma kit?

@Antonio Carias you won't be able to import screens into a file that is not a Relume figma kit going forward. You can duplicate the kit and import, and then copy/paste the screens into your previous project.

Another option would be to duplicate the latest figma kit, and transfer your projects existing variables into this file and then copy/paste your previous screens into this project.

We've already done some rapid updating here to provide some level of backwards compatibility but in order for our figma plugin to work properly we need predictability in the file and having a bunch of different figma files just won't be possible anymore, unfortunately.

Ok thank you
