Error when trying to use the `Screen` plugin

[toymachiner62]

I’m trying to use the Screen plugin https://quasar-framework.org/components/screen-plugin.html

You can see which versions i’m on:

$ quasar dev

 Dev mode.......... spa
 Quasar theme...... mat
 Quasar CLI........ v0.17.22
 Quasar Framework.. v0.17.18
 Debugging......... enabled

Server fails to start with this message:

 ERROR  Failed to compile with 1 errors                                                                                                       14:05:45

This dependency was not found:

* src/plugins/Screen in ./.quasar/client-entry.js

To install it, you can run: npm install --save src/plugins/Screen

So i followed the commands to try and install it and it’s erroring with this message

$ npm install --save src/plugins/Screen
npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL
npm ERR! Could not install from "src/plugins/Screen" as it does not contain a package.json file.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

After reading up on the beginners section again https://quasar-framework.org/components/introduction-for-beginners.html#Using-Quasar-Plugins I see I put 'Screen in the wrong plugins section

Although the error message still does seem a bit misleading maybe?

[metalsadman]

the error message is correct, since you put it in the wrong plugins section, in your case not the one under quasar, so it does look into the said “src/plugins/” directory.

Got it. Makes sense.
