Getting an error when running npm start

[JustInTime111]

When I'm running npm start I keep getting the following error. I am using the master Kibana helper function which goes with my version of Kibana that I am using, 6.2.3. I have elastic search running at the default URL and even passed it as a parameter to the npm start command but it didn't help. In addition, I had a feeling it might be due to having the x-pack plugin so I also passed the Kibana config file to the npm start command, which also didn't help. Does anyone have any experience with this error?

/usr/share/kibana/plugins/test

Looks like you've got the paths wrong. If you're using this tool, your plugin should live next to kibana, so /usr/share/test.

See https://github.com/elastic/template-kibana-plugin#create-a-directory-for-your-plugin-that-is-right-next-to-your-kibana-directory

I fixed that issue by recreating my whole project and my 'test' plugin is now in the same directory as Kibana. But I'm not getting this error, 14 verbose stack Error: test@0.0.0 start: 'plugin-helpers start'. I've also made sure that I'm using the same version of NodeJS that Kibana is using, 6.12.2. I used 6.12.2 because that's the revision in .node-version file.

I am running npm start in my plugin directory and it gives me that message. When I run npm start in my Kibana directory it works for a while then gives an error as well.

Could be two different things, I'm not sure. What is cytoscape, and what error do you get when you just run Kibana without your plugin?

I resolved this issue. Chromedriver wasn't installed.
