Hello, I'm trying create a beat based on metricbeat. I have the following errors: `grep: ../libbeat/docs/version.asciidoc: No such file or directory` and: ``` cp: cannot stat 'module/*/_meta/kibana/*': No such file or directory vendor/github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat/Makefile:19: recipe for target 'kibana' failed make: [kibana] Error 1 (ignored) ``` This are the steps i'm doing: ``` root@98bbac675a7b:go get github.com/magefile/mage root@98bbac675a7b:go get github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat root@98bbac675a7b:python ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/elastic/beats/script/generate.py --type=metricbeat root@98bbac675a7b:/app/src/github.com/CCSGroupInternational# python ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/elastic/beats/script/generate.py --type=metricbeat Beat Name [Examplebeat]: vspherebeat Your Github Name [your-github-name]: CCSGroupInternational Beat Path [github.com/CCSGroupInternational/vspherebeat]: Firstname Lastname: CCS GroupInternational root@98bbac675a7b:/app/src/github.com/CCSGroupInternational/vspherebeat# make setup mkdir -p vendor/github.com/elastic cp -R /app/src/github.com/elastic/beats vendor/github.com/elastic/ ln -sf /app/src/github.com/CCSGroupInternational/vspherebeat/vendor/github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat/scripts/generate_imports_helper.py /app/src/github.com/CCSGroupInternational/vspherebeat/vendor/github .com/elastic/beats/script/generate_imports_helper.py rm -rf vendor/github.com/elastic/beats/.git vendor/github.com/elastic/beats/x-pack mkdir -p vendor/github.com/magefile cp -R /app/src/github.com/elastic/beats/vendor/github.com/magefile/mage vendor/github.com/magefile git init Reinitialized existing Git repository in /app/src/github.com/CCSGroupInternational/vspherebeat/.git/ New python executable in /app/src/github.com/CCSGroupInternational/vspherebeat/build/python-env/bin/python Installing setuptools, pip, wheel... done.

I maybe have a similar problem. I tried to start creating own beats and installed the environment as described in [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/beats-contributing.html#setting-up-dev-environment](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/beats-contributing.html#setting-up-dev-environment). But when I run the "make update" command I get the following error: ~/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats$ make update Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/bin/python2 New python executable in /home/martin/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/build/python-env/bin/python2 Also creating executable in /home/martin/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/build/python-env/bin/python Installing setuptools, pkg\_resources, pip, wheel...done.
