Unable to find extension in the registry.

Describe the bug

Hi, it's me again; I'm here to share a problem I'm having.

I've created a few extensions for my own use that aren't on the list of approved extensions.

The extension that installs without issues is called SakuraDialogSystem, as shown in the video.

However, I have a problem with another extension called EasyNarrative—also created for my own use—which depends on SakuraDialogSystem. The issue is that...

...the extension won't install because GDevelop tries to look for EasyNarrative in the official list; since SakuraDialogSystem isn't there, it tries to search for it online and fails.

Is there a way to make GDevelop look for extensions locally within the project if it doesn't find them in the official list?

Or am I perhaps overlooking something?

Steps to reproduce

Create an extension that won't be on the official list, and create another one that depends on that extension.

GDevelop platform

Desktop

GDevelop version

5.6.271

Platform info

Details

OS (e.g. Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS)

Additional context

The extension I named "EasyNarrative" used to depend on Yarn.

Thank you for reporting an issue. As a workaround, I guess you can import both extensions at once.

@D8H The only solution I found was to manually edit the JSON and remove "SakuraDialogSystem" from the "requiredExtensions" key of the other extension's JSON file, and then it worked.

I tried importing them both at the same time, but it didn't work.
