Troubleshooting

$3

If you encounter errors like:
`
The requested module '/admin/node_modules/react-dom/index.js' does not provide an export named 'flushSync'
`
or similar errors with lodash, you need to configure Vite's dependency optimization.

Fix: Update your Strapi admin Vite config:

`ts
// src/admin/vite.config.ts
import { mergeConfig, type UserConfig } from "vite";

export default (config: UserConfig) => {
return mergeConfig(config, {
optimizeDeps: {
include: ['react-dom', 'lodash'],
},
});
};
`

If you don't have this file, create it. Then clear the Vite cache and restart:

`bash
rm -rf node_modules/.vite
npm run develop
`

$3

If you get peer dependency errors during installation, use the --legacy-peer-deps flag:

`bash
npm install strapi-plugin-bulk-editor --legacy-peer-deps
`

$3

Make sure the plugin is enabled in your config:

`js
// config/plugins.js or config/plugins.ts
module.exports = {
"bulk-editor": {
enabled: true,
},
};
`

Then rebuild and restart Strapi:

`bash
rm -rf .cache dist node_modules/.vite
npm run build
npm run develop
``
