Custom Lightning Components Not Available to Add in Lightning App Builder

I installed both the Opp Alert Coponent and the ContactsToday Component from the Trailhead Module "Working with Custom Lightning Components". However, they are not available to add as components in the Lightning App Builder. I've tried uninstalling an reinstalling, with no luck. The "Custom Components" section in Lightning App Builder shows 0.

Any help would be appreciated - I've had nothing but technical difficulties with this module and I want to earn that darn badge already!

Katherine, make ensure to enable it for Salesforce1.

Setup/build/develop/lightning components 
check the Enable Lightning Components in Salesforce1 (BETA) checkbox.
And try going into your Lightning App Builder again.

I have the same issue. I installed the ContactsToday Component, and no custom components showed under the Lightning App Builder. I then made sure I enabled Lightning Components in Salesforce1, but when I did that, now any time I try to edit my existing Lightning App or build a new one, I get a 'Server not found' error message (url = na34.lightning.force.com). I want to earn this badge already too! :)

Unfortunately, as I mentioned, I get the same error when I try to build a new app.

The DNS issue I encountered when enabling Salesforce1 Lightning Components was resolved on my instance and I'm good to go now!

I'm having the same problem as Naomi.  When I try to install the ContactsToday, it installs in my production instance, not the developer instance.  I've built the My Data lightning component, but I keep getting the error that the compoonent doesn't exist.

Did you guys get this error?  How did you handle it

Your request to install package "ContactsToday Component NV2" was unsuccessful. None of the data or setup information in your salesforce.comorganization was affected.

If your install continues to fail, contact Salesforce CRM Support through your normal channels and provide the following information.


Package: ContactsToday Component (04tj0000001mMYj)
Error Number: 139397916-51539 (-291793471)

I am still having the same issue, I am not seeing enable for Salesforce1 even after activating the "Lightning Component usage requires My Domain" Update.

Anyone having similar issue?

Hi All ,

I faced the same issues mentioned above. I tried all the solutions mentioned but when I carefully looked into trailhead it says that we need to activate the domain.

Just create domain by following the steps given in the trailhead.

After the domain deployed to the users you can see the component in the Lightning App Builder.Add it to the 'MyData' app.

Cheers !!!

Thanks,
Ajay

Hi All, 

I think I've done everything mentioned here. Screenshots show:
1) Custom(0) in AppBuilder, though I expect at least a couple
2) I'm signed into my special domain
3) I have installed 2 custom components
4) Checkbox is checked for "Enable App Builder for Lightning Experience (PILOT)"

I've put a couple hours into this apparently 20 minute exercise. I'd really appreciate your help.

Hi Ryan, you have to complete the last step in "My Domain" : deploy to users, then you should see the component in the app builder.

Hi all,
Could someone help me? I have created the new domain to have my lightning component ContactsToday available, but now that I want to edit my app via Lightning App Builder, I am no longer able to login ...
I click Edit on my App "MyData"
I am redirected to login.salesforce.com
I login, I see a redirection to my custom domain
I'm back at login.salesforce.com

If I look at the login history : "Success".

Hey All, 

following the discussion here it seems that the challenge is not very clear at all - anyway. To solve the trail you need to follow these steps: 

1. Install the Packages (Note: It will be automatically installed with your current login -not on the "hands-on org")
2.  Open Lightning App Builder

==== Register Your Domain ====
3. Custom Shows: "Register your Domain"
4. Follow the Link and register a custom domain. (Note: "Check availability" seems to be buggy. Use a random number + character to make it working)
5. Confirm Domain while opening the E-Mail. 
6. Login To you Domain for double-check. 
7. Deploy Domain to Users.
8. Open Lightning App Builder again
=== End Register Your Domain ===
9. The Custom Component should be now available. 

Hope this will help out.

Hello Folks

Wondering if you guys can help me. I've already tried your answers to resolve this issue. Even after throwing my head in the different direction for last 2 hours, I'm still stuck on the same problem. I manage to install the Opportunity Alert Component, but 'ContactsToday' custom component is not getting installed. It is throwing the below error –

Hi Manoj, have you had any success?  I installed several components from appexchange and I simply want to use them in the app builder.

This seems to be a widely discussed topic, and I am sort of embarrassed that I can't figure it out.   I've been able to replicate various portions of our web site in VF/APEX porting from PHP w/API.  I wanted to attempt to recreate other portions using the lightning environment.  In our org we have a long list of components, including several I downloaded. In the app builder, only the standards show.  Clicking My Domain shows a domain name, with step 4 highlighted.  I'm working in our developer sandbox which is a snapshot of prod.

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/components_config_for_app_builder.htm

This part of the dev guide seems to indicate 3 steps - setting up a domain - which seems already done, Add a New Interface to Your Component, and Add a Design Resource to Your Component Bundle.  

It seems as if step 2 and 3 indicate creating code fragments that expose the component to the app builder somehow.  I'm having trouble understanding what needs to done to get the components to show up in the builder.  

If someone can give me even the slightest insight of what I am missing in concept here I'd greatly appreciate it.
 
Lisa SouletLisa Soulet
@christopher.ramm has the correct solution.  I was running into most of the issues above, but as soon as I registered and deployed my domain, the "ContactsToday" custom component showed up in my Lightning Components pane.  Thank you, Christopher.  Now I can earn by badge!

 After I just pasted the last part of the URL into my web browser the install worked.  It kepted trying to log me into my work instance of salesforce and install rather than the trailhead org.  And that is what caused me to get the errors in install.  I already had the domain deployed. User-added image

Hi folks

As suggested by you all I tried doing every possible step and still the custom component "ContactsToday" was invisible in launched Trailhead Playground while it was visible in Sales or Marketing grounds when I tried following the same steps. However challenge is incomplete unless you download the custom component into trailhead playground. So in order to make the custom component visible in trailhead playground, I tried these steps:
 
1. Open the link "Install this unmanaged package" as mentioned in the challenge requirements
User-added image2. The link will open in new tab where it showed the package is already installed and hence uninstall before installing a new versionUser-added image3. Click done and it will take you to the installed packages page where you can see Contacts Today. Also you will see that the page is changed to Sales App rather than Trailhead Playground where the custom component is installed. Also you cant see the trailhead palyground option in the dropdown which means that this custom component is not available for use in your trailhead account or developer org.
User-added image4. Click the Contacts Today and then view components. In the view components page, click the ContactsToday link under Package components section.
User-added image5. You can see the link to developer console which will take you to the developer console. Once you are in developer console you can see the code for the following items:
"ContactsToday" component
"ContactsToday" controller
"ContactsToday" helper
 "ContactsToday" Style
 "ContactsToday" ​Documentation
"ContactsToday" renderer
"ContactsToday" design and
"ContactsToday" SVG
Make sure you copy the codes for all these sections in a notepad and keep.

User-added image
 6. Now launch the trailhead playground from your challenge and then open the developer console under your profile. In the developer console, perform the following actions

1. Click New "Lightning Component" <- Name it "ContactsToday" <- Check Lightning Page under "Create bundle with any of the following configurations (optional)" and Click Submit

2. Copy paste the code which we had copied in the notepad before for component, controller, helper, Style, Documentation,  renderer, design and SVG and then click save

3. Then navigate to Test tab and click run all and make sure there are no errors while copying code. Once it shows success, go to "Lightning App Builder" page from quick find and open "MyData" Lightning page and refresh.
You can see the ContactsToday Custom Component visible now.

Note: Before starting to follow the below steps make sure your domain is properly installed in My Domain page (The instructions of which are given clearly in the challenge)

This is how I finished my task.

Thanks & Cheers.
Have a good day!

Expereinced similiar issue not seeing the custom lightning components in the app builder. It turned out for me that I needed to create a custom domain, wait for the salesforce email to arrive, login to that domain and deploy the domain to users. After I was done with that, the custom component magicially shows up.

Hello -
I struggled with not being able to locate the Opp Alert app. once it installed. The problem:  the app. said it installed successfully, but I couldnt find it.  I noticed after I pasted the url from the trailhead module & hit the enter key, the browser changed and installed the Opp Alert in another org. than my Trailhead playground.  I carefully edited the first part of the url to match my trailhead playground url, where I wanted the apps. installed.  
James Pineda 7James Pineda 7
Hi Brenda,
Thanks for your post. I'm a little confused, though.  When you stated that you "...carefully edited the first part of the URL...", what did you mean?  I've tried variations of combining the URL of my Dev org with the given URL for the opp alert install package...and I'm not getting anywhere.  Could you provide an example?
Cheers,
James
Brenda HarwellBrenda Harwell

James,

Sure!  In my case I have multiple dev accounts, including the Trailhead Playground.  For example if your dev account url is similar to:
https://samplename-dev-ed.lightning.force.com/lightning/page/home
and your trailhead playground url is similar to:  https://skippy-mouse 9999999-dev-ed.lightning.force.com/one/................

You want to edit the url text shown in bold above to be your Trailhead Playground account, before you hit the enter key fto run the Opp Alert/components install.  

Hope that helps!
Brenda

James Pineda 7James Pineda 7
Hi Brenda,

Thanks for your speedy response!  It definitely helped.  I have the same multiple dev accounts/Trailhead Playgrounds scenario...so the first time I installed the opp alert package, the install defaulted to my original, named/login dev org.  Since I performed the install with only the target Playground ("rickety-rat-123456") running, I assumed that it would install there.  As you know, this is definitely not the case.

Here's what worked for me:
I used copy and paste features to speed things up and reduce keystroke errors.  I would have solved this problem yesterday on my own if I had done this. Keystroke errors. Doh!!! Thank goodness @BrendaHarwell got me back on track!!!

This is the install package location:  https://login.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04tj0000001mMYP

Here's the URL for the setup home page of my target dev org:  https://rickety-rat-123456-dev-ed.lightning.force.com/lightning/setup/SetupOneHome/home?0.source=aloha

Your install package URL should look like this: https://yourorg-here-123456-dev-ed.lightning.force.com/packagingSetupUI/ipLanding.app?apvId=04tj0000001mMYP

Another example, using my dev org alias: https://rickety-rat-123456-dev-ed.lightning.force.com/packagingSetupUI/ipLanding.app?apvId=04tj0000001mMYP

There's no need for resetting passwords or anything else.

Thank you @BrendaHarwell!

Hi guys,

I had the same issue so I thought to try create this component manually it worked.

All you have to do is to:
1. Go to your Developer Console
2. Click file -> new -> lighting component
3. Create component with a name "ContactsToday" and additionally just check all checkboxes (just to be sure)
4. I've added some dumb html like:
<h1>Hello from Contacts Today</h1>
5. Done!
Parul Vinchurkar 9Parul Vinchurkar 9

Directly launch your playground and goto Install Packages and Install 04t1a000000REQ2 for Contacts Today.
This worked for me.
