Hey @winshaurya, I was literally about to leave you a kudos for this test report. But, I'm sorry to say that I didn't fell for it and I noticed you cropped my demo video from the PR and uploaded it as yours.

[chandrapratamar]

@chandrapratamar Okay, I actually don't see the sidebar, make sure you are building it correctly

Just realized that, i do build this using your feat branch, checked the logs turns out the app just download the pipe instead of using the local one :

I found the workaround, will update you once im done

[Omar8345]

@chandrapratamar show me the screenshot of the dashboard not the search pipe real quick
