Created plugin, runs locally, won't build

[bababrownbear (Haseeb Mohammed)]

Hello all!

I'm having trouble finding help on this issue please.

I've created a Kibana plugin following this: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/packages/kbn-plugin-generator

When I run 'yarn build' it fails on this step:

Any suggestions on how to resolve please? What other information would be helpful?

Hi @bababrownbear,
that's strange, just to confirm you've executed 'yarn kbn bootstrap' before trying to build?

[bababrownbear (Haseeb Mohammed)]

Yes. I chalked it up to my environment (Mac) and loaded the entire setup again in an Ubuntu VirtualBox.

I am able to build now, but my build output can’t be installed. I outlined more in this github issues comment.

[cli/plugins] plugin installation format requirement and errors

Could you take a look please @Marta_Bondyra?

I am not able to install my plugin.
