Addressing and troubleshooting common issues

Data inaccuracies?

If you see one of the following symptoms:
  • Duplicate components
  • The usage count of some components seems inconsistent
  • Some of my components are tagged as external but they shouldn't be
One common reason is that Omlet may not be resolving your import paths properly if you have aliases set up in a TSconfig file or bundlers like Webpack, Babel, or Vite. Omlet tries to detect these automatically, but it might not work for your specific setup.
To handle this case, the CLI has an option to read a configuration file where you can define the aliases. See here for more details.

Some components aren't detected

Double-check that your input parameters are not accidentally filtering out file extensions used to define your components. For instance, if you set an input parameter like -i '**/*.{tsx,jsx}' , you might be skipping .ts or .js files where components are defined.
This also could be a bug related to Omlet. If you believe that is the case, please contact us at [email protected].

Omlet on monorepos

Omlet is designed to support monorepos and automatically detects each package as a separate project.

Running CLI behind a proxy

To submit analyses through proxy servers, you can pass proxy configuration to the CLI using the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.
e.g. HTTP_PROXY=[<http://example.com:1234>](<http://example.com:1234/>) omlet analyze

Component libraries published to NPM

If you own and manage the component library, you can use Omlet to scan your library like any other repository using omlet init or analyze. Omlet will automatically detect dependencies and usage relationships between repositories.

Using components from a 3rd-party library

Omlet will still detect the usage of components from 3rd-party libraries like MUI or Ant. However, Omlet will only detect components used inside your project rather than all the components defined in the external library.

Ignoring files that are not components

Omlet supplies sensible default configurations to ignore certain files such as Storybook stories documentation or test files:
  • **/node_modules/**
  • **/*.d.ts
  • **/stories/**/*
  • **/.storybook/**/*
  • **/*.stories.{jsx,tsx,js,ts}
  • **/*.{spec,test}.{jsx,tsx,js,ts}
  • **/{__test__,tests}/**/*.{jsx,tsx,js,ts}
However, if you have other directories, files, or components that you would like to filter out, use the --ignore option. You can also pass multiple ignore patterns:
--ignore '**/utils/**' --ignore 'deprecated/**/*.{tsx,jsx}'

Running into CLI errors

If you're running into CLI errors, try updating to the latest version of the CLI.
You can also add the --verbose --log-level debug options to output detailed logs in the CLI. It will let you know if errors are occurring from a certain file and use --ignore option to filter out those files to complete the sync.
Please also contact us at [email protected] with the error and file so we can help troubleshoot.

API failed or timeout

Your session may have timed out, or you logged out of Omlet. Try running npx omlet login (or npx @omlet/cli login --print-token if you are running it outside of your repository).
This error may also happen when Omlet tries to scan a large project with many components and complex dependencies or a large file that is unrelated to a component. Try narrowing down the directories and files that Omlet CLI scans using the -i parameter.
If the issue persists, you can contact us at [email protected].
Omlet will automatically direct you to the workspace you created or the workspace you were invited to first. If you are invited to multiple workspaces, you can enter a URL with a specific workspace name such as: https://feta.omlet.dev/my_other_workspace

Setup test workspace

Omlet does not provide a test instance within the same workspace. We would recommend creating a separate workspace for testing purposes.

Delete a scan

Navigate to the "All scans" page using the workspace menu on the top left. From there, you can delete individual scans you have made previously.

Resetting a workspace

If you want to start from a blank slate, you can go to the "All Scans" page and delete your past scans individually. If you have too many scans to delete, contact us at [email protected].
