Can you try by using ` yarn kbn reset` before running `yarn kbn bootstrap` it looks like an issue with some missing dependency

Unfortunately that is not the issue. This test plugin fails as well [GitHub - brenoandrade-wdrv/graphql-plugin-example: Kibana plugin approaching simple query on GraphQL API](https://github.com/brenoandrade-wdrv/graphql-plugin-example)

I have raised an issue [Cannot build external Kibana plugin in 8.9.0 · Issue #162637 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/162637)

Thanks, I've pinged the Ops team to take a look at it
