All 3 plugins add custom functionality to Kibana via `visTypes` extension point

- [https://github.com/prelert/kibana-swimlane-vis/blob/master/index.js#L24](https://github.com/prelert/kibana-swimlane-vis/blob/master/index.js#L24)
- [https://github.com/mmguero-dev/kbn\_sankey\_vis/blob/master/index.js#L7](https://github.com/mmguero-dev/kbn_sankey_vis/blob/master/index.js#L7)
- [https://github.com/mmguero-dev/kibana-plugin-drilldownmenu/blob/master/index.js#L8-L9](https://github.com/mmguero-dev/kibana-plugin-drilldownmenu/blob/master/index.js#L8-L9)

The problem that `visualization` plugin migrated to the new Kibana platform in v7.8.0 [move visualizations plugin to new platform by ppisljar · Pull Request #60403 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/60403) and doesn't use `uiExports.visTypes` anymore.

You can use Kibana with version below v7.8 or adjust plugins code with one of 2 options:

- migrate plugins to Kibana platform. [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core/MIGRATION.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core/MIGRATION.md)
- use a compatibility layer

> in hacks.js  
> import { npSetup } from 'ui/new\_platform';  
> npSetup.plugins. visualizations.createBaseVisualization(...)

Probably it's better to migrate to KP because we removed legacy platform plugins support in v7.10
