I'm generating a plugin code using:  
node scripts/generate\_plugin marina-test  
with only hacks enabled.  
And I keep getting the following error:  
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'plugins/marina\_test/hack' in '/kibana/src/optimize'

My kibana version is 6.6.2 and I've checked out tags/v6.6.2

What am I missing?

Thank you in advance, Marina

Do you have a `<plugin>/public/hack.js` file? Imports starting with `plugins/marina_test` are going to resolve to the `public` directory of the plugin with the id `marina_test`.

Also, it seems your plugin might have the id `marina-test` based on your comment. Double check the spelling of the "name" field in your `package.json` file, or the `id:` passed to the plugin constructor in your plugin's index.js file.

Thank you, I had the hack.js file under server/public and even when I've updated the path in index.js file it didn't recognize it...

Ah, `public` is supposed to be next to `server`, not within it 🙂
