@@ -15,13 +15,68 @@ To check if you already have the package, look under
`@backstage/plugin-scaffolder`. The instructions below walk through restoring
the plugin, if you previously removed it.
-### Install the package
-
```bash
# From your Backstage root directory
yarn --cwd packages/app add @backstage/plugin-scaffolder
```
+Once installed, the plugin is automatically available in your app through the default package discovery. For more details and alternative installation methods, see [installing plugins](https://backstage.io/docs/frontend-system/building-apps/installing-plugins).
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter the [issue of closing EventStream](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/issues/5535)
+which auto-updates logs during task execution, you can enable long polling. To do so,
+update your `packages/app/src/apis.ts` file to register a `ScaffolderClient` with the
+`useLongPollingLogs` set to `true`. By default, it is `false`.
+
+```typescript
+import {
+ createApiFactory,
+ discoveryApiRef,
+ fetchApiRef,
+ identityApiRef,
+} from '@backstage/core-plugin-api';
+import {
+ scaffolderApiRef,
+ ScaffolderClient,
+} from '@backstage/plugin-scaffolder';
+
+export const apis: AnyApiFactory[] = [
+ createApiFactory({
+ api: scaffolderApiRef,
+ deps: {
+ discoveryApi: discoveryApiRef,
+ identityApi: identityApiRef,
+ scmIntegrationsApi: scmIntegrationsApiRef,
+ fetchApi: fetchApiRef,
+ },
+ factory: ({ scmIntegrationsApi, discoveryApi, identityApi, fetchApi }) =>
+ new ScaffolderClient({
+ discoveryApi,
+ identityApi,
+ scmIntegrationsApi,
+ fetchApi,
+ useLongPollingLogs: true,
+ }),
+ }),
+ // ... other factories
+```
+
+This replaces the default implementation of the `scaffolderApiRef`.
+
+### Local development
+
+When you develop a new template, action or new ``, then we recommend
+to launch the plugin locally using the `createDevApp` of the `./dev/index.tsx` file for testing/Debugging purposes
+
+To play with it, open a terminal and run the command: `yarn start` within the `./plugins/scaffolder` folder
+
+**NOTE:** Don't forget to open a second terminal and to launch the backend or [backend-next](../../docs/backend-system/index.md) there, using `yarn start` and to specify the locations of the templates to play with !

+## Old Frontend System
+
+If your Backstage app uses the old frontend system, you need to manually wire the plugin into your app.
