Attempting to sync over an existing `PackageLink` causes Rojo plugin to error out

[kennethloeffler]

I've attached the following project to help reproduce: part-package.zip. This project is a place with a Part containing a PackageLink. The problem is reproducible on Rojo 7.4.0.

1. Run rojo build and open the resulting place file.
2. Run rojo serve.
3. Connect the Rojo plugin and observe the following error:

   
   -- Promise.Error(ExecutionError) --

The Promise at:

...Rejected because it was chained to the following Promise, which encountered an error:

Hiya, this still appears to be happening for me on 7.4.1.

I encountered this in one of my own projects, then found this issue and attempted to build the .zip and got what seems to be the same result:

-- Promise.Error(ExecutionError) --

The Promise at:

user_RojoManagedPlugin.rbxm.Rojo.Plugin.ServeSession:142 function start

user_RojoManagedPlugin.rbxm.Rojo.Packages.Roact.SingleEventManager:80

...Rejected because it was chained to the following Promise, which encountered an error:

Hey there @Helloburp, I missed this, sorry! Not sure if you're still having this problem, but your Rojo plugin there still says 7.4.0 - this is fixed on 7.4.1+.Make sure to also update the Roblox Studio plugin whenever you update Rojo, either by running rojo plugin install, or by using Roblox Studio's plugin management tool to get the latest version, depending on how you prefer to install the plugin
