Custom Components not appearing in the Retool UI

This post is just a follow-up to an existing post by @M_Mulder:

Custom Components Not Displaying in Retool UI – Previously Working Setup

Issue Solved: The root cause was using import statements in the src/index.tsx file to include React components. For some reason, Retool no longer properly recognized these imports. After manually moving all component definitions directly into the index.tsx, the components started displaying again in the Retool UI component selector.

I would've replied there but it was closed and I don't see a way to ask for an edit.

I ran into this same issue and while mushing all of your components into index.tsx will work, what I found is that Retool's Custom Components Library doesn't like import *. In my case, anyhow, I was able to work around this bug by changing import * from ... to import { A, B, C } from ....

The tricky part is that both versions compile fine and the Retool tooling will indicate success, but the first version made my component disappear.
