Cant generate JSON from localhost address #85

As I am developping locally Id like sometimes like to export designs from there. When I click the plugin, no "Download" is started, or JSON is created. (it works on other pages). Any debug I can check or look into?

Hey @Webrow - are you using the figma plugin or the chrome extension to grab your content from localhost?

Webrow commented 2 years ago

Yes correct! I installed the chrome extension, go to local served host and try to export it, but no JSON is being generated (no download triggered and no tab)

Webrow commented 2 years ago

@steve8708 Not to bump, but is there any debugging you'd like me to do to look into this?

steve8708 commented 2 years ago

Yeah, two things I'd love to find out

do you get any errors in the chrome devtools JS console? if so can you share?
if you something like ngrok to make the host no longer localhost, does importing work?

hey @steve8708 I'm also running into the same behavior.

I get no output on JS console on chrometools (short video here) I was unable to get the file shown there served simply using ngrok and didn't have time to troubleshoot it. getting the HTML I'm wanting into Figma hosted somewhere is a bit more than this is worth.

Hope this helps troubleshooting! I'd love to be able to import local HTML files for this work project, will continue to look for a work around.

I was able to work around the problem above by using npm http-server to serve my HTML page I wanted captured locally. I used homebrew to install npm, npm to install http-server, a http-server to serve the file to my browser. Then figma-html was able to handle it and export json as expected.
