Unable to build custom beat

I am trying to follow the instructions building the countbeat example here on Ubuntu 18.04 but am not having much luck. After figuring out that the mage instructions are wrong, I was able to get past that by building it from the github.com/elastic/beats directory (not the new beat directory as it states) but it still errors out with the following:

Enter the beat path [github.com/punisherVX/countbeat]:

Error: error compiling magefiles

Error: running "make update" failed with exit code 2

I have tried searching on the goja.runtime error with zero hits, so I am not sure how to fix this.

Go version:

go version go1.14.7 linux/amd64

TIA

This is issue has just gotten fixed on master: https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/20586

Let me know if you still have issues when generating a new Beat.

Thanks, that fixed it.
The next step is broken tho - it shouldn't be "make setup" but rather "make update"
I will figure out how to submit a PR for that.

Just tried this with the 7.9 branch and it is still broken. It works in master though. According to the pull merge it was put into 7.9?

Yes, it is part of 7.9. Could you please share the error you are getting again?
