Hi guys,
I've a problem with che kibana plugin build I did using _plugin-helpers_
In detail, when I run the build command I can see the zip file with all the plugin's file I need.
The only files are missing is the .local-chromium I have in :
```auto
../kibana/plugins/plugin_name/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium
```
Actually I'm solving this running an _yarn install_ after the plugin deploy.
Obviously this is only a workaround...
Someone can help me??
Thanks in advance,
Nicola

Hi @Nicolap
is the `.local-chromium` a symlink or a real file? because all symlink are removed from the zip file.

I've checked locally and we have the same dependency. `.local-chromium` is a folder, that is populated only after yarn install. I'm not sure why this is skipped by the plugin helper build command. Let me check with the Kibana Ops folks

Ok so we have opened a PR to fix that: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/68247/files](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/68247/files)
I think you can try to apply the patch locally to see if this will fix your actual problem and if so please feel free to add a comment on that PR
