Kibana [6.7.2] Cannot find module 'babel-register' when building with Jenkins

[swood1]

Hello,

I am building Kibana 6.7.2 from source via Jenkinsfile. OS is Windows 10.

The build process executes the following tasks in the given order:

1. set node version to 10.15.2
2. yarn kbn bootstrap
3. yarn build --skip-os-packages --oss --skip-archives
4. cd into build/oss/my_kibana_build and yarn install
5. zip build in build/oss/my_kibana_build

When I download my build, and try to run bin/kibana.bat and immediately the Cannot find moudle 'babel-register' error is thrown.

I've read this is due to corrupt version download, but I have repeated the build multiple times and get the same error every time.

Is it possible the build process is corrupting the .zip it outputs? Should I be using the files that are output in build/oss to zip from, or is this the wrong destination?

When I execute these steps manually (i.e. not through the Jenkins pipeline), kibana will spin up without error

Thanks

I think you might be using an intermediate build directory - I would highly recommend allowing the build to create the archives and using those file from the target directory.

1. set node version to cat .node-version
2. yarn kbn bootstrap
3. yarn build --skip-os-packages --oss
4. grab archives from target directory

Thanks Tyler, I have been playing around with it and I think you're correct.
