Action scaffolder http-request NOT DEFINED

[Tomelin]

Hi guys,

I'm following this article - https://roadie.io/backstage/plugins/scaffolder-http-requests/ to implement Action http request in my template, but when I start the backstage return this error:

[1] 2022-12-21T09:40:49.710Z catalog info Performing database migration type=plugin
[1] Backend failed to start up ReferenceError: config is not defined
[1]     at createPlugin (webpack-internal:///./src/plugins/scaffolder.ts:36:13)
[1]     at main (webpack-internal:///./src/index.ts:97:103)

and my code in line 36 is:

  const actions = [...builtInActions, createNewFileAction(),
    createHttpBackstageAction({ config }),
    ...createBuiltinActions({
      integrations,
      config: env.config,
      catalogClient,
      reader: env.reader,
    }),
  ];

and whole scaffolder.ts is:

import { CatalogClient } from '@backstage/catalog-client';
import { createRouter } from '@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend';
import { Router } from 'express';
import type { PluginEnvironment } from '../types';
import { createBuiltinActions } from '@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend';
import { ScmIntegrations } from '@backstage/integration';
import { createNewFileAction } from './scaffolder/actions/custom';
import { createHttpBackstageAction } from '@roadiehq/scaffolder-backend-module-http-request';



export default async function createPlugin(
  env: PluginEnvironment,
): Promise<Router> {
  const catalogClient = new CatalogClient({
    discoveryApi: env.discovery,
  });

  const integrations = ScmIntegrations.fromConfig(env.config);

  const builtInActions = createBuiltinActions({
    integrations,
    catalogClient,
    config: env.config,
    reader: env.reader,
  });

  //const actions = [...builtInActions, createNewFileAction()];
  const actions = [...builtInActions, createNewFileAction(),
    createHttpBackstageAction({ config }),
    ...createBuiltinActions({
      integrations,
      config: env.config,
      catalogClient,
      reader: env.reader,
    }),
  ];
  
  return await createRouter({
    logger: env.logger,
    config: env.config,
    database: env.database,
    reader: env.reader,
    catalogClient,
    identity: env.identity,
    actions,
  });
}

What is the problem?

Hi @Tomelin ,

The error message indicates that a config is not defined what you are trying to pass into the method. Backend failed to start up ReferenceError: config is not defined. Could if that is the case and that config object you are using there is correctly referenced
