Example 'new visualisation' PRs no longer work

See original GitHub issue

Reviewing the documentation and example PRs for how to add a new visualisation, I have followed those steps as closely as possible (apart from some folders which seem to have been moved). When adding the new visualiation to a dashboard, I get the following error:

An error occurred while rendering the visualization: Error: Item with key "custom_vis" is not registered.

Expected results

The visualisation loads

Actual results

A yellow box displays with the error, along with the same message through console.warn.

How to reproduce the bug

Follow the structure of https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/pull/3013 in order to create a new visualisation, run npm run build and npm run sync-backend, start server. Add new chart using the visualisation, and add to dashboard. Visit dashboard.

Environment

superset version: v0.29rc7
python version: Python 3.7.3
node.js version: v11.11.0
npm version: 6.7.0

I have checked the superset logs for python stacktraces and included it here as text if there are any.
I have reproduced the issue with at least the latest released version of superset.
I have checked the issue tracker for the same issue and I haven’t found one similar.

New documentation must be written in order to specify how to create a new visualization, as Superset visualizations are now dependent on plugins, see PR #6838. Unfortunately there is no existing documentation on how to write & integrate a plugin.

If you want to try and build your own plugin without documentation, clone superset-ui-plugins, write your plugin (use other plugins as templates), and use Storybook to make sure your chart displays correctly. Then, try integrating your plugin into this repository by looking at how other plugins are imported/integrated.
