Start kibana with under development plugin #3

Closed deyb closed 7 years ago

deyb commented 7 years ago

The documentation says "Start Kibana in development mode with your new plugin included". How do you start kibana with the new plugin since it is still under development ? What command do I need to run ?

By default, it does not include the new plugin. I am running npm start in the new plugin directory which is the sibling directory of kibana. When I try running kibana, it complains that the new plugin module cannot be found.

ERROR in ./optimize/bundles/kibana.entry.js Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'plugins/kb-newplugin/kb-newplugin'

It fails when you try to export the module through visTypes since the plugin is not in the kibana/plugins.

When you run npm start, it actually uses the plugin-helpers module to start it, which will set the kibana pluginsPath property to include your plugin's root path. This is how we do plugin development at Elastic.

Cannot resolve module 'plugins/kb-newplugin/kb-newplugin'

This path seems suspicious. Can you share a listing of the files in your plugin? If you're on Linux/Mac, you can run tree -L 2 from the root of your plugin, that should provide enough information.

Also, in the top-level index.js, can you share what you have for the uiExports configuration?
