Hi, I'm developing kibana plugins in Win10. It's strange that every time I update the folder "kibana/src/plugins", and then restart the kibana, the optimization step doesn't execute automatically. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks!

Hi @bamboo2222,

If you delete the `optimize` folder at the root of Kibana, the optimizer will run again.

Try that and lemme know

Thanks
