I want to integrate eui with my local kibana, Is there any way to integrate eui with link e.g `@elastic/eui": "link:` in package.json in kibana 7.10.x version ? I have tried it. It's not working. Can anyone help me with this? ---

Hello, Kibana uses EUI components and EUI is already packaged with Kibana. Can you explain what do you mean by you want to integrate EUI with your local Kibana? Thanks, Bhavya ---

Thanks for your reply @bhavyarm. Let me explain you in detail. I am using Kibana 7.10.2 and it's bundled with EUI 29.3.2. I want to add new components in EUI 29.3.2 in my local and want to test it with Kibana, that's why I have cloned Kibana and EUI in my local and I have tried to integrate EUI using link command in `@elastic/eui": "link:` in kibana package.json Here is my directory structure of Kibana and EUI in my local: > root > ------------- kibana > --------------eui In eui, I have done proper setup using commands : `yarn`, `yarn build` From above directory structure, kibana and eui both directories are in parallel. I have changed eui value in package.json from `"@elastic/eui": "29.3.2"` to `"@elastic/eui": "link:../../eui"` which is pointing to my local eui. After doing this when I try to run `yarn kbn bootstrap`, I am getting following error: > Blockquote > ERROR [bootstrap] failed: > ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'entries' of undefined > at Kibana.resolveAllProductionDependencies (/Users/hardikbhut/workspace/kibana-7.x/kibana-7.10.x/kibana/packages/kbn-pm/dist/index.js:58072:35) > at validateDependencies (/Users/hardikbhut/workspace/kibana-7.x/kibana-7.10.x/kibana/packages/kbn-pm/dist/index.js:38106:32) > at Object.run (/Users/hardikbhut/workspace/kibana-7.x/kibana-7.10.x/kibana/packages/kbn-pm/dist/index.js:9001:100) I have attached screenshot of `yarn kbn bootstrap` command output ![error_screenshot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/b/0b1a57e3279470a4503ab929ca8200d1c3dae4b4.png) I was using the same structure in Kibana 6.8.x versions and It was working fine. But in Kibana 7.10.x, It's not working. I hope you are getting my point. Let me know If you need any further details for same. Thanks & Regards, Hardik ---

For better understanding, I want to link eui with kibana, without publishing eui. I hope It makes little bit sense now. ---

Hey @hardik.rapidops , we maintain instructions for testing EUI builds in Kibana as part of the EUI wiki: [eui/component-development.md at master · elastic/eui · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/eui/blob/master/wiki/component-development.md#testing-the-component-with-kibana) - we do our best to update that section whenever we find it becomes out of date. Personally, for some reason, I cannot point at the .tar.gz file and have to extract it to a directory. Most folks have no issue directly using the tar file. If you are debugging/testing small changes and are comfortable modifying the babel-transpiled code, EUI is brought into Kibana via packages/kbn-ui-shared-deps/target/kbn-ui-shared-deps.@elastic.js - you can modify that file and immediately refresh your browser window, changes to that file are applied without any additional build or transform step. ---
