Hello,

I set up my dev environment following this steps:  
1 - git clone [https://github.com/[MY\_USERNAME]/kibana.git](https://github.com/%5BMY_USERNAME%5D/kibana.git) kibana-6.3  
2 - cd kibana-6.3  
3 - yarn kbn bootstrap  
4- node scripts/makelogs  
5- bin\>elasticsearch.bat  
6 - yarn start  
Kibana works!

Now, I would like to build a Kibana application using **[the Kibana plugin generator](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/6.3/packages/kbn-plugin-generator)**, I used :  
**.../kibana-6.3\> node scripts/generate\_plugin my\_plugin**

The **kibana-extra** folder created and I found the plugin **my\_plugin** but I got this message in my console:

> [bootstrap] failed:
> 
> CliError: [my-discover] depends on [@elastic/eslint-config-kibana] using  
> 'link:', but the path is wrong. Update its package.json to the expected value  
> below.

Q1: What means this message?  
Q2: How can I integrate this plugin in my Kibana? (kibana-plugin.bat install file:///... will work?)  
Q3: Is this the only way to develop a Kibana app?

Thanks for advance 😄

This looks like a bug in the plugin generator to me, would you mind filing an issue on [our github repo](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Bug_report.md)?
