Hello I try to make a hello world plugin inside kibana so I use the yeoman generator but there is the following error: [ng:areq] Argument 'pluginTestHelloWorld' is not a function, got undefined I show my index.js > import exampleRoute from './server/routes/example'; > export default function (kibana) { > return new kibana.Plugin({ > require: ['kibana', 'elasticsearch'], > uiExports: { > app: { > title: 'CloudUnit', > description: 'A CloudUnit plugin', > main: 'plugins/cloudunit\_kibana/app', > > ``` > injectVars: function (server, options) { > var config = server.config(); > return { > kbnIndex: config.get('kibana.index'), > esShardTimeout: config.get('elasticsearch.shardTimeout'), > esApiVersion: config.get('elasticsearch.apiVersion') > }; > } > }, > visTypes: [ > 'plugins/cloudunit_kibana/vis_type' > ], > }, > > ``` > ``` > config(Joi) { > return Joi.object({ > enabled: Joi.boolean().default(true), > }).default(); > }, > > ``` > ``` > init(server, options) { > // Add server routes and initalize the plugin here > exampleRoute(server); > } > > ``` > > }); > }; And this is my app.js which contains my "pluginTestHelloWorld" controller > import moment from 'moment'; > import chrome from 'ui/chrome'; > import uiModules from 'ui/modules'; > import uiRoutes from 'ui/routes'; > import 'ui/autoload/styles'; > //import './less/main.less'; > import template from './templates/index.html'; > uiRoutes.enable(); > uiRoutes > .when('/', { > template, > resolve: { > currentTime($http) { > return $http.get('../api/cloudunit\_kibana/example').then(function (resp) { > console.log(resp.data.time); > return resp.data.time; > }); > } > }, > controller: 'pluginTestHelloWorld' > }); > uiModules > .get('app/cloudunit\_kibana', ) > .controller('pluginTestHelloWorld', function ($scope) { > $scope.title = 'Plugin Test'; > $scope.description = 'An awesome Kibana plugin'; > var currentTime = moment($route.current.locals.currentTime); > $scope.currentTime = currentTime.format('HH:mm:ss'); > var unsubscribe = $interval(function () { > $scope.currentTime = currentTime.add(1, 'second').format('HH:mm:ss'); > }, 1000); > $scope.$watch('$destroy', unsubscribe); > }); Do you know why the ng-controller syntaxe in template make this issue? ---

Are you specifying `ng-controller="pluginTestHelloWorld"` in the template in addition to specifying it in the definition of the route? ---

Yes of course this is the template: `
` > ## Congratulations > > You've successfully created your first Kibana Plugin! > > # {{ title }} > > {{ description }} > > The current time is {{ currentTime }} ---

Could you try removing this line, as it's unnecessary if you're using `ng-controller`: > [@](#): > > `controller: 'pluginTestHelloWorld'` ---

It's same problem I add this notation in order to bypass the problem but the is already the same issue :S I don't understand because angular it's correctly instanciate but no possibility to declare a controller You didn't have a git repo with a hello world plugin? because the generator yeoman doesn't operate correctly Thanks for all ---

Can you share your package.json file contents? And what version of Kibana are you working with? ---

Yes of course, I work with kibana 4.4, 4.6, 5.0 and master branch of kibana repository.

Are you getting errors about versioning? The version in your package.json should match the version of Kibana you're targeting. ---
