Error Message

Current behaviour: Error: Failed to install: Source path does not exist /Users/user/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/nextjs/plugins/cache-components

Root Cause

The issue is because the claude plugin actually lives at /Users/user/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/nextjs/.claude-plugins/plugins/cache-components

Link to the code that reproduces this issue

https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json

To Reproduce

  1. Follow instructions here: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/.claude-plugin/plugins
  2. Run /plugin install cache-components@nextjs

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current behaviour: Error: Failed to install: Source path does not exist /Users/user/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/nextjs/plugins/cache-components

Expected behaviour: success

The issue is because the claude plugin actually lives at /Users/user/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/nextjs/.claude-plugins/plugins/cache-components

Perhaps this is because it https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json defines the src directory incorrectly.

Two solutions:

  1. update marketplace.json to include .claude-plugins in path
  2. or; move plugins/ to root directory

TL;DR

Update the marketplace.json file to include the correct path to the plugins directory, likely by adding .claude-plugins to the src directory path.

Guidance

  • Verify the current path in marketplace.json and compare it to the actual location of the plugins directory, which is /Users/user/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/nextjs/.claude-plugins/plugins/cache-components.
  • Update the marketplace.json file to reflect the correct path, using one of the two suggested solutions: either update the src directory to include .claude-plugins or move the plugins directory to the root directory.
  • After making the change, re-run the /plugin install cache-components@nextjs command to test if the issue is resolved.
  • If the issue persists, double-check the file system and configuration for any other discrepancies in path names or locations.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to configuration and file paths.

Notes

The solution assumes that the issue is indeed caused by the incorrect path in marketplace.json. If the problem persists after applying the suggested fix, further investigation into the plugin installation process and the next.js configuration may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by updating the marketplace.json file to include the correct path to the plugins directory, as this is a direct fix for the identified issue.
