Hello, I created a custom connector like Pargerduty, the connector is working localhost perfectly.  
However I cannot build the projectm I got the following error.  
Actually, even if git clone the project and do not change the code, I can't build as well. I am running git bash as administrator  
Kindly see below the command.

Hi @MichelPitz ,

Currently I don’t think our build tasks are working on windows natively. Could you please try to build it using WSL2 please?

Cheers

Hi, I installed WSL and tried today

WSL 2  
Ubuntu 22.04

Got the same error:

I changed the project folder from c:/Projects to WSL folder \wsl$\Ubuntu-22.04\home\petrypmi\kibana.  
Used command "yarn build --skip-os-packages" and the error is gone, will inform soon If I can start kibana

@MichelPitz thats correct!

To add on that there is a chance for the build to went through after [chore(NA): adds support for bazel packages to live anywhere by mistic · Pull Request #130833 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/130833) lands but I think its better for you to just use WSL2 anyways as we don't frequently build on a Windows machine. Also for the future it is possible that WSL would become our default recommendation for developing on Windows.

Cheers
