Is there a workaround for this until release of 7.2.1?

@markniel

Waiting for 7.2.1 is the best option. However, if you are blocked by this issue, try the following steps, which will involve some changes in the code.

in <kibana-folder>/x-pack/plugins/code/index.js file, comment out line 11:

const init_1 = require("./server/init"); ===> // const init_1 = require("./server/init");

and comment line 83:

init: init_1.init, ===> // init: init_1.init,

Then the kibana should be able to start normally.

Commenting out those two lines and starting kibana has me unblocked.
Thanks so much!

Glad to know the blocker has been removed @markniel. But again, I would suggest upgrading Kibana to 7.2.1 in the coming release to resolve this problem.
