Question regarding ControlStrings

See original GitHub issue

Version

1.11.0

Question

I have added the component (npm install) and added the ControlStrings entry in config.json, but when I serve the code and navigate to the workbench on Office 365 (not the local workbench) I get an error stating:

[SPLoaderError.loadComponentError]:
***Failed to load component XXX.
Original error: ***The entry point for component XXX has a dependency on "ControlStrings" that is not declared in the manifest.

The web part works fine on the local workbench, but I want to use the ListItemPicker with some SharePoint lists from an existing site without deploying the web part there.

Is this possible? Am I missing a step somewhere?

Thanks!

Thanks Alex. I was running node 8.12.0 on Windows 10. I noticed that the SPFx docs are currently recommending 8.15.0 so I switched to that in NVM and it started working ok. I then switched back to 8.12.0 and it still worked… I’m calling this ‘one of those things’ and moving on - thanks for your help.

hmmm… Maybe it’s somehow related to the environment you have. What OS, node and npm version do you use?

I’ve also shared my project with the code you provided (the difference - I’ve changed list id). You can check it here. It completely works for me. If it doesn’t for you then I bet it’s environment issue. For example, NodeJS version - SPFx works well with version 8.
