Module Not Found in new Backend system

[tam-pham-ts]

Hi team, I face an issue when installing backstage-plugin-harbor-backend package. I follow the installation guide:

yarn --cwd packages/backend add @bestsellerit/backstage-plugin-harbor-backend

Installation result:

success Saved lockfile.
warning Workspaces can only be enabled in private projects.
success Saved 3 new dependencies.
info Direct dependencies
info All dependencies
├─ @bestsellerit/backstage-plugin-harbor-backend@0.3.2
├─ @types/scheduler@0.16.8
└─ app@0.0.0
✨  Done in 22.88s.

But when running the backstage application

yarn dev

It throws an error

My Backstage version: 1.30.0-next.3

The npm package published doesn't support the new backend. You need a newer version, and you could use this package instead: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@digitalist-open-cloud/backstage-plugin-harbor-backend. Also follow how to add the backend to packages/backend/src/index.ts (see README in that package).
