verifyTranslations fails due to Unknown config key: elasticsearch.tribe.url

[tylersmalley]

The 6.x branch is currently failing with the following:

https://kibana-ci.elastic.co/job/elastic+kibana+6.x+multijob-intake/3/console

23:38:25 Running "verifyTranslations" task
23:38:29 Warning: Unknown config key: elasticsearch.tribe.url Use --force to continue.
23:38:29 

Appears to have started with: bb97a53a3f06e4905591f082679e9f665787f226 from https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/21093

@archanid can you look into this?

[rhoboat]

this failure on 6.x saved us. the same problem actually exists in the master branch, but we swallow the actual error. the reason we see a failure in 6.x is because tribe node is still supported, and the console app config has to check whether that setting in elasticsearch.tribe is configured. this check throws an error, so we finally see there's a problem. but the underlying error has nothing to do with tribe node. (we don’t see any errors in master because tribe setting was removed, so the console app no longer needs to check the elasticsearch.tribe setting, and nothing else throws an error even after the swallowed error.)

the underlying error is "unable to compile typescript". the elasticsearch plugin config isn’t getting parsed because it’s now using the mappings lib which is in typescript, and it for some reason throws this error. I don’t know how to solve this typescript parsing/compiling problem, so i've created a PR to revert this change for now.

Good find. @spalger, do you have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Additionally, I am unable to provide tribe setting at runtime:

Is this due to the same underlying issue?

[rhoboat]

@tylersmalley can you try it again using my revert branch on 6.x? https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/22004

[rhoboat]

I'm seeing the issue on the reverted branch as well. It might be a regression.

[tylersmalley]

Yeah, checking it out now.

[rhoboat]

I did some digging and, yes, passing in the elasticsearch.tribe.url arg fails silently in plugin_discovery find_plugin_specs. the console plugin doesn't get added.
