Description

Brief summary

I'm following the "getting started" guide to write my own extension: https://miru.js.org/en/developer/2-extension/

When doing that, I get an error when importing the extension:

type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'String' in type cast

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create extension.js file
  2. Add meta data as described on https://miru.js.org/en/developer/2-extension/#write-metadata
  3. Import extension
  4. Get error

It fails when loading the "license" meta tag. This is missing from the documentation.

Acknowledgements

  • I have searched the existing issues and this is a new ticket, NOT a duplicate or related to another open issue.
  • If this is an issue with a extension, I should be opening an issue in the extension repository.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the extension import handler where metadata fields are parsed. Ensure that the 'license' field is handled with null safety and added to the documentation.
