Fatal Error in Starting Kibana for Adding New Plugin

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I created a plugin with plugin generator script in scripts/ folder (I used script in 7.10.1 with git checkout v7.10.1) and then i just copied it in kibana/plugins folder to check if it works on my kibana which it is version 7.10.1 too and I run the kibana and it raises an error .
I didn't change anything when i copied the plugin generated by script.

Error message:

I just copied it in kibana/plugins folder , should I like install it or do something else ? I'm new to plugins and plugin development so I don't know exactly how I can install the generated plugin.

I've hit this error a few times before but can't remember exactly what I did to clear it.

I would attempt yarn cache clean then yarn kbn clean then yarn kbn bootstrap since it suggests not all dependancies are there.

Also typically when I do node scripts/generate_plugin NAME from the root directory it will copy it into the /plugin folder so you wouldn't need to move it.

oh no I test it in another kibana installed that its version is same as kibana which i cloned from kibana repo. should I run it from cloned kibana ?
how can I run it from another kibana that it has same version ?
like other public plugins that you can install on kibana

4

You would need to build it before installing it on another Kibana instance.

5

yarn build failed at first attempt should I like claen the cache or sth like that or not ?

6

What error did it give you? Did you run from within your /plugin/pluginName/ folder?
