Error after upgrading Nativescript

[mrwrighty]

I'm getting this error when using ns run ios or ns run android

Android version runs irrespective of the error but error does display. iOS version fails to compile and run

ERROR in ../node_modules/nativescript-drop-down/drop-down.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'ui/editable-text-base/editable-text-base' in '/Users/nick/Documents/NativeScript/Projects/WFSL/node_modules/nativescript-drop-down' @ ../node_modules/nativescript-drop-down/drop-down.js 6:27-78 @ ./views/settings/settings-page.xml @ . sync (?<!\bAppResources\b.)(?<!.\/\btests\b\/.?).(xml|css|js|(?<!.d.)ts|(?<!\b[\w-]*.)scss)$ @ ./app.js

Version of Dropdown is 5.0.6

I have removed and re-added the plugin

ns doctor returns

Just seen the reference to this version not being compatible with Nativescript 7. However when trying to install the pro plugins version with tns plugin add @proplugins/nativescript-drop-down I get

Hey @mrwrighty , the compatible version is already on the ProPlugins NPM. You need to have an active subscription in order to gain access to it.

[mrwrighty]

We only do ad-hoc simple enterprise apps and cannot justify the subscription for these plugins. its a real shame. I realise you have to make money from this, but our projects cannot justify this as an on-going cost. Nativescript seem to forget that not all companies are big developers with big plugin needs that can justify the monthly cost. Presumably if we pay for a month but then stop paying access to the plugin stops for future changes to the app. There doesn't appear to be an alternative to this feature so may be forced to abandon the project.

@mrwrighty , I can understand that. First of all let me be clear that ProPlugins is unrelated to NativeScript or nStudio. This is an independent initiative I joined, because I could not justify all the time spent to support all my plugins with all the breaking changes coming with almost every version of NS.

You can check the code in this repo and try to make it compatible with NS 7. I would gladly approve a PR from which the whole community can benefit. You can also subscribe for a month and download the package and use it in your apps even after the subscription expires.

Thank you for the clarification. I will have to discuss this with our bosses but I'm not expecting good news.
