How to run custom extension?

[hahnbeelee]

Description

I'm trying to create a new project type custom extension.

I've already read all of these docs:
https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/lua.html (and all the guides it told me to read here)
https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/project-types.html

This is what my file structure looks like and when I run quarto render I get this error:

I believe this is the same file structure as defined here, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

For more context, I have also downloaded the quarto-cli repo and have run ./configure.sh. Is there a command I need to run that I have missed? Does the workflow work differently when the quarto-cli is downloaded locally?

Could you share the actual code rather than a screenshot which does not allow us to work with?

From the error, your Lua filter is malformed, your imports are not properly declared or something around that idea.

Apologies about that, I thought I was missing a step for rendering. I completely copied over the docusaurus _extension.yaml and this was the setting that created the error:

contributes:
  shortcodes: # this is a hack, we just want to include this file
    - mintlify_renderers.lua

Removing this setting made it work.

Here is my code.

Learning opp: Do you know why this would work inside the quarto-cli repo for the docusaurus extension but it wouldn't work for my personal extension?
