01/10/2023, 4:34 PMWhich step in https://backstage.io/docs/getting-started/ are you having trouble with? Also backstage has a discord mentioned here that is going to be able to provide you much more help than this slack channel: https://backstage.io/docs/overview/support

01/11/2023, 6:46 AMso mostly im just struggling to understand why the gitlab plugin isnt working correctly (specifically its not displayng any of the cards for a given entity as well as not pulling anything in from our gitlab instance automatically).

01/11/2023, 12:43 PMDoes it output any logs?
Asaf Erlich
01/11/2023, 12:50 PMThere are two options options when debugging plugins if the existing output is not enough. You can clone the Backstage repo and yarn link, then step through with a debugger or add logs. Alternatively you can run the commands to install a new internal plugin then copy paste all of the gitlab plugin to your local one then step through with a debugger or add logs.

01/11/2023, 12:50 PMI only needed to do that when a plugin doesn't log anything though
