Error: import or require() statements can be added only by editing a Markdown example file

Hi!

I updated vue-styleguidist from 2.1.2 to 3.13.4. After the update requiring json-data for the documentation examples in the markdown does not work. The example below works on 2.1.2 but is broken on 3.13.4. I did not notice any comments related to this in the release-notes.

My markdown looks something like this:

const tableData = require('./tabledata.json')

<div>
  <my-fancy-table
    :data="tableData" />
</div>

Current behavior

Does not render the component, but it renders an error:

“Error: import or require() statements can be added only by editing a Markdown example file”

Expected behavior

Should render the component with required sample data.

I found the issue and it was easy to fix 😉 Thank you @RyanHavoc for setting up the repro

@elevatebart Sure. I’ve created this: https://github.com/RyanHavoc/vue-sg

Note the example in the cookbook for accessing components in markdown files: https://vue-styleguidist.github.io/docs/Cookbook.html#how-to-hide-some-components-in-style-guide-but-make-them-available-in-examples

I see this:

If I remove the Vue require I get the error everyones talking about here.
