Hi,
I am getting the following error while running elastic search using "yarn es source"

Step:

git checkout v7.2.0
2. cd kibana
3. Bootstrap Kibana and install all the dependencies by executing below command(node.js and yarn already installled)
yarn kbn bootstrap
step 3 completed successfully.
4) git clone [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch.git](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch.git) elasticsearch
git checkout v7.2.0
1. Execute below command in kibana home
yarn es source
Note : version of kibana and elasticsearch was v7.2.0
Please guide me how to resolve this error.

I moved this to the Kibana topic because the error is occurring in the Kibana build.
