Hello, I want to create my own custom plugin so I followed the steps to setup the development environment given by [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). Unfortunately, I have been having a hard time trying to set it up... I have been able to follow the steps up to the yarn es source command where I get the following error : $ node scripts/es source info Installing from source │ info source path: /home/exploit/elasticsearch │ info install path: /home/exploit/kibana/.es/source │ info license: basic │ info on master at 65cbe51c394c4e23908eecd84ac1cc6e762f8e9e │ info 0 locally modified file(s) │ info ./gradlew :distribution:archives:linux-tar:assemble │ debg Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster) │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:compileMinimumRuntimeJava UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:compileMinimumRuntimeGroovy NO-SOURCE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:processMinimumRuntimeResources NO-SOURCE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:minimumRuntimeClasses UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:compileJava UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:compileGroovy UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:generateVersionProperties UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:pluginDescriptors UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:processResources UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:classes UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:jar UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:assemble UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:pluginUnderTestMetadata UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:compileTestJava UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:compileTestGroovy UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:processTestResources UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:testClasses UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:test SKIPPED │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:validateTaskProperties UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:check UP-TO-DATE │ debg \> Task :buildSrc:build UP-TO-DATE │ERROR │ERROR FAILURE: Build completed with 2 failures. │ERROR │ERROR 1: Task failed with an exception. │ERROR ----------- │ERROR \* Where: │ERROR Build file '/home/exploit/elasticsearch/benchmarks/build.gradle' line: 20 │ERROR │ERROR \* What went wrong: │ERROR A problem occurred evaluating project ':benchmarks'. │ERROR \> Failed to apply plugin [id 'elasticsearch.build'] │ERROR \> Cannot set maxParallelForks to a value less than 1. │ERROR │ERROR \* Try: │ERROR Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.

Hello, There might be issues with ES master not being stable. I'd recommend using `yarn es snapshot`. This way you'll have the latest running ES snapshot. ---

Sorry for my late response, I have tried to use snapshot first and it did not work. I tried running yarn es snapshot again yesterday and left it running all night to discover it was stuck at the same place I had left it the day before. node scripts/es snapshot info Installing from snapshot │ info version: 8.0.0 │ info install path: /home/exploit/kibana/.es/8.0.0 │ info license: basic │ info downloading artifact info from [https://artifacts-api.elastic.co/v1/versions/8.0.0-SNAPSHOT/builds/latest/projects/elasticsearch](https://artifacts-api.elastic.co/v1/versions/8.0.0-SNAPSHOT/builds/latest/projects/elasticsearch) │ info downloading artifact from [https://snapshots.elastic.co/8.0.0-922fcaae/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT-linux-x86\_64.tar.gz](https://snapshots.elastic.co/8.0.0-922fcaae/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT-linux-x86_64.tar.gz) │ info downloading artifact checksum from [https://snapshots.elastic.co/8.0.0-922fcaae/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT-linux-x86\_64.tar.gz.sha512](https://snapshots.elastic.co/8.0.0-922fcaae/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha512) │ info checksum verified │ info extracting /home/exploit/kibana/.es/cache/elasticsearch-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT-linux-x86\_64.tar.gz │ info extracted to /home/exploit/kibana/.es/8.0.0 │ info setting bootstrap password to changeme info Starting │ debg bin/elasticsearch │ERROR OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: │ERROR Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release. │ERROR │ │ info [o.e.e.NodeEnvironment] [debian9] using [1] data paths, mounts [[/ (/dev/sda1)]], net usable\_space [5gb], net total\_space [24.4gb], types [ext4] │ info [o.e.e.NodeEnvironment] [debian9] heap size [1015.6mb], compressed ordinary object pointers [true] │ info [o.e.n.Node] [debian9] node name [debian9], node ID [cQLOA-IyQeeb\_mx-UggiXw], [...some other stuff...] [basic] - valid │ info [o.e.x.s.s.SecurityStatusChangeListener] [debian9] Active license is now [BASIC]; Security is enabled │ info [o.e.c.r.a.AllocationService] [debian9] Cluster health status changed from [YELLOW] to [GREEN] (reason: [shards started [[.security-7][0]] ...]).

The logs show that ES snapshot is running. Now you can start kibana in another terminal. ---
