Error when trying to migrate Gatsby App that uses "gatsby-plugin-netlify-cms" from "netlify-cms-app" to "decap-cms-app"

[praharsh23]

Hi all,

Cross-posting this from decaporg/decap-cms#6911 (comment) as this looks to be an issue with gatsby-plugin-netlify-cms.

I'm receiving an error when trying to migrate from "netlify-cms-app" to "decap-cms-app".

Any suggestions to resolve this?

For context, netlify-cms is no longer actively maintained and it is recommended to migrate to decap-cms.

• https://decapcms.org/blog/2023/08/decap-3
• https://www.netlify.com/blog/netlify-cms-to-become-decap-cms/

Also, is there any doc to help with migration of existing apps that use netlify-cms to decap-cms?

Steps taken:

1. npm uninstall netlify-cms-app
2. npm install decap-cms-app
3. In cms.js of my App changed the import as follows

import CMS from 'decap-cms-app'
instead of
import CMS from 'netlify-cms-app'

Here is the error message with gatsby build

 ERROR #11321  PLUGIN

"gatsby-plugin-netlify-cms" threw an error while running the onCreateWebpackConfig lifecycle:

Cannot find module 'netlify-cms-app\dist\netlify-cms-app.js'
