So I'm working on a module that implements a react component, and upon installation, it seems I've messed with the perspective module itself. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/e/4e2a546cae42e43e8144a4dede57922b2617c648.png) And when I try to create a view I get this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/7/d72f8d61a3f066e301ca9985220148c61d168304.png) From the error log, it seems like there was an error involved with the designer.navtree.model. How... do I begin to investigate and debug this? ---

Are you registering a bundle with `BundleUtil` in your designer scoped hook? ---

Yes, exactly like how it's done in the example project: > ---

What name are you using for the bundle? The ~~first~~ last argument. ---

As I'm trying to follow the example as closely as possible, I guessed that you want to pass in the value of what URL\_ALIAS is here in this file: > So I passed in my value for both the first and last arguments. ---

I should also mention that the component did make its way in, at least in the perspective components sidebar. ---

I'm grasping at straws, because what appears to have happened in the first screenshot is that the bundle for Perspective (prefixed/named `perspective`) is not available. The only way I can see that happening as a result of your module is if you're inadvertently colliding with that name. Basic troubleshooting stuff: Does it persist if you restart the designer? Does it go back to normal if you uninstall your module? ---

Ah okay I have other helpful information here then. So across all of my project scope files, my attempts to import anything starting with "com.inductiveautomation.perspective" fail. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/9/497fb8a254f3549a0a485625be4263f814320a99.png) As you can see I'm currently "modlImplentation"ing "perspective.common" and "perspective.gateway". I've also tried applying "compileOnly" and "implementation", which didn't change the error lints in my IDE, but to be fair I haven't yet tried to open a designer and see yet. I'll go ahead and try those now. At the time I thought maybe my IDE was wrong about its linting, as I was still able to build, upload the module without issues, and even see the component show up in the browser. Additionally I should also mention that one potentially big difference between my project, and the example project is in the root's build.gradle.kts. We have a 'subprojects' block: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/0/5065717f4f44f994c54278d1fabb5ca61e1ace5c.png) I've tried also adding perspective.common and perspective.gateway here as compileOnly's, but that seems to cause trouble as well ---

Well you're not going to be able to resolve those dependencies with our public Nexus maven repo commented out (the `ignitionsdk` stuff should all be [`compileOnly`](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_configurations.html#sec:what-are-dependency-configurations), by the way, because we're going to provide the dependencies for you at runtime). But that's not (probably) the root cause of what you're seeing here. ---

Changing them to "compileOnly" actually does solve the issue! Do you have any idea why the IDE still complains and thinks there's errors? ---

You must be using cached local versions of these dependencies or something, because there's no way you're resolving the `ignitionsdk` dependencies without our public Maven repo. Take a look at [GitHub - IgnitionModuleDevelopmentCommunity/ignition-extensions](https://github.com/IgnitionModuleDevelopmentCommunity/ignition-extensions) for a clean/modern Gradle setup for Ignition. It doesn't have any Perspective customization, but it's pretty simple to copy from. ---

I'm going to throw out some guesses as to how things could be working on my end: Maybe this buildscript block in the root build.gradle.kts is taking care of it: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/8/d8c76dea69c95a09b1f8241bb0f42c87a7ce099f.png) Or the root setting.gradle.kts is also covering for it: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/8/7838bc97189bb106d3960988cee2b1f0c39025d3.png) Because in both the perspective-component example, and the repo you just linked, the maven repo isn't declared in any of the project-scope specific build.kts files. And I can see in both projects how they might be applying it globally in some way.
