Have you solved it? I also encountered the same problem.

lol, nope, do you have any suggestion. I bypass it using yarn dev in production environment but not a good choice.

Yes, yarn dev works fine in my local IDE, but after building and uploading the server directory to the server, the extension menu doesn't show up, which is strange. I noticed that directly using yarn dev makes the page load very slowly, so it might not be a good solution. I'll look into it further.

i can see the compiled extensions in src/modules but the problem is i cannot see the extension menu. very strange
