Struggling with Forge UI components other than "Text"

Forge
#1

Hi, I have just worked through the “hello world” examples etc and am trying to branch out a little bit from that - I am failing at the first hurdle! I have imported the “Tag” component UI and am trying to use it as part of the Fragment… however it doesnt seem to be recognised as a valid component - I must be missing something obvious but cant see it, please help!

Error Message
There was an error invoking the function - Unexpected child type: object. Valid children are @forge/ui components, function components, and strings.
Error occurred in Fragment:

Hi @AidenMarriott,

Can you please post which version of @forge/ui is in your package.json?

I am having the exact same issue.
This is my simple index.jsx:

import ForgeUI, { render, Fragment, Text, SpacePage, Heading } from '@forge/ui';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <Fragment>
      <Heading size="large">Title</Heading>
    </Fragment>
  );
};

export const run = render(
  <SpacePage>
    <App />
  </SpacePage>
);

Package.json:

{
  "name": "forge-ui-starter",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "license": "MIT",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "./node_modules/.bin/eslint src/**/* || npm run --silent hook-errors",
    "hook-errors": "echo '\\x1b[31mThe build failed because a Forge UI hook is being used incorrectly. Forge UI hooks follow the same rules as React Hooks but have their own API definitions. See the Forge documentation for details on how to use Forge UI hooks.\n' && exit 1"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "eslint": "^6.5.1",
    "eslint-plugin-react-hooks": "^2.1.2"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@forge/api": "^1.1.0",
    "@forge/ui": "^0.9.0"
  }
}

Hi @Brian1, thanks for raising this issue. I can reproduce it and am looking into it now.

Hi @Brian1, you’ll need to install the latest @forge/ui package to use Heading — npm install @forge/ui@latest. I’ll raise feedback on the error message and the templates are out of date so I’ll get that fixed.
