Hi guys, I've been having issues with getting kibana to startup after installing my plugin. I generate the plugin using the kibana plugin generator. I went through all the steps on github and generated my plugin. However when I install the plugin into kibana and try to start up kibana, i get the following error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/2/5245cd2f16c373a21303ccb4dfde54cd286fee8d.png) My kibana version is version 7.7.1, any idea of what i can do to fix this? ---

How are you running Kibana? If you are running from source, did you run `kbn bootstrap` and follow the instructions at [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment) ---

I did all that, when I generate the plugin it generates a plugin for me. I run into the issue when I take the generated plugin and install it into kibanas latest release of 7.7.1. It installs the plugin but when I try to access Kibana in my browser it gives me this error message. When I previously generated plugins for version 7.6 I didn't face this problem. ---

You will have to generate a plugin from 7.7. Plugins are not compatible between minor versions of kibana. ---

Sorry I wasn't specific with my last statement, what I meant was that when I was running kibana 7.6 in the past, I generated plugins for my KIbana version with no issues. I recently migrated over to Kibana 7.7.1 and I did generate a plugin from 7.7 following the same steps as I had done with the plugin generator when I was using 7.6. Here are the steps I followed: 1. Using kibana's source on github I generated a plugin for version 7.7.1 (checked out branch 7.7, ran `yarn kbn bootstrap`, ran `node scripts/generate_plugin [my plugin name]` and generated a plugin for version 7.7.1. 2. I grabbed the plugin I just generated from the `/plugin` folder of my kibana source. Then I installed it into kibana 7.7.1 which I downloaded from the elastic site. 3. I ran Kibana 7.7.1 after installing the plugin, opened it up in my browser and was presented with the error from my first post. ---
