New Platform Plugin - disallowed syntax found

[AndreaTosti]

Hello everyone, in legacy plugins I was able to run the following import:
import EditorJs from 'react-editor-js';

In the new platform (v7.8.2) I can no longer do that import.
This generates the following errors (when using node scripts/build_kibana_platform_plugins), is there a workaround? my plugin is not used by other plugins.

$ node scripts/build_kibana_platform_plugins

Hello @AndreaTosti

I think your plugin needs to be built before node scripts/build_kibana_platform_plugins can be run. There are some sample plugins in the kibana repo that might help, including this one - https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/test/plugin_functional/plugins/management_test_plugin Take a look at the package.json file. As you can see, the typescript compiler is run.

You can also try the plugin generator - node scripts/generate_plugin.js [name]

Hi, first of all thanks for the help, i tried to follow your advice but i was not successful.

I solved the problem using a local version of EditorJS, in particular I had to use Babel to switch to a code written in ES5 (more details here)
