Hello,

From my Kibana plugin app, I am trying to use "require('crypto');" / "require('crypto-browserify');".

On Kibana, I am facing the following error:

I am wondering what did I miss? Or is it even possible to use those modules?

Best Regards,  
Antoine.

I ran into this error too recently. I've just created a bug for it: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11619](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11619).
