Local Plugin Development

Use the standard OpenShift dynamic-plugin split-terminal workflow.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22
• npm or yarn
• oc logged in to a cluster
• podman or docker for the local console bridge container

Start the Plugin Dev Server

npm install
npm run start

With yarn:

yarn install
yarn start

The webpack dev server listens on http://localhost:9001.

Start the Local Console

oc login <cluster-url>
npm run start-console

With yarn:

oc login <cluster-url>
yarn start-console

Open http://localhost:9000 and use the OpenShift console with the plugin loaded from the local dev server.
