Hello,
Based on Peter Pišljar's example ([https://www.elastic.co/blog/developing-new-kibana-visualizations](https://www.elastic.co/blog/developing-new-kibana-visualizations)), I'm trying to embed a visualization inside my kibana plugin.
My controller looks like this:
```
app.controller('TestVisApp', function ($scope, Private, serviceSettings) {
const visContainer = $('.test-vis-app-visualize');
getVisualizeLoader().then(loader => {
loader.embedVisualizationWithId(visContainer, '68a473b0-8168-11e8-b601-d5f98337454c',
{
timeRange: {
from: 'now-1y',
to: 'now'
}
});
});
});
```
Nevertheless, no matter which visualization id I try, I get the following error:
_Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'from' of undefined ([https://131.101.126.10:5601/zrq/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=8467:1903](https://131.101.126.10:5601/zrq/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=8467:1903))_

Here's the browser log:

Any ideas?
I am using Kibana 6.2.1 and Elasticsearch 6.2.1.
Thanks in advance,
Arturo.

Hm. It's hard to tell from that stacktrace. It looks like you're running your plugin in a production release of Kibana, which doesn't produce very easy stack traces for debugging purposes. I'd suggest pulling down Kibana's source code and running your plugin inside of that:
> **[elastic/kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/6.2)**
>
> kibana - :bar\_chart: Kibana analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch
That'll help you pinpoint the source of the error.

Chris,
thanks for your response.
I _am_ running in kibana's development code. Any other thing I can try?
This is how the fatal error is shown:
Thanks.
Arturo.

Ah. Wow, that's not a great stacktrace! Well, if you're running in dev-mode, you should have sourcemaps available if you pull up your browser's dev tools. Here's a link to how to pull those up for Chrome:
> **[Chrome DevTools | Tools for Web Developers
| Google Developers](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/)**
>
> Get started with Google Chrome's built-in web developer tools.
If you open your dev tools, then refresh the page, you should see something in the console that pinpoints the source. I generally start poking around with breakpoints and console.logs until I track down the issue. I don't think there's a quick answer to your question. It'll require some digging in the dev tools to figure out where the problem lies.

Chris,
Sorry if I was not clear, by _browser log_ above I meant the logging in Chrome's DevTools.
The first error occurs when the _loader.embedVisualizationWithId_ is called.
Any ideas?

Hi Arturo, sorry for the late response.
Did you ever solve this?
I don't have ideas other than to start putting debug console logs into your code to find out where it's going wrong. it sounds like it's trying to access a property "from" on an undefined time range, but it's not clear from the error whether that invalid access is happening in your visualization or in Kibana itself.
