Is there an existing issue for this?

Kong version ($ kong version)

3.4.0

Current Behavior

I use a clean Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on a x86_64 machine. And I want to compile Kong from source code. The following bash script is majorly from DEVELOPER.md and I run them as root user:

cd ~
sudo apt update \
&& sudo apt install -y \
    automake \
    build-essential \
    curl \
    file \
    git \
    libyaml-dev \
    libprotobuf-dev \
    m4 \
    perl \
    pkg-config \
    procps \
    unzip \
    valgrind \
    zlib1g-dev \
    docker-compose
git clone https://github.com/Kong/kong
cd kong
git checkout 3.4.0
export GITHUB_TOKEN=github_xxx
make build-venv

When finish building Kong, I use the following code originally from DEVELOPER.md try to start Kong:

source /root/kong/bazel-bin/build/kong-dev-venv.sh # venv
start_services
kong migrations bootstrap
kong start

When executes on kong start, I met this exception:

# kong start

  Run with --v (verbose) or --vv (debug) for more details

Expected Behavior

The Kong should start normally.

Steps To Reproduce

(Please see "Current Behavior" section, I have paste all the script I executed there)

Anything else?

n/a

By the way, I fixed it by executing make install as root user. However, this behavior has not been mentioned in DEVELOPER.md. I am curious if other users are able to start their development environment successfully without executing make install?

If you meet exception from opentelemetry or PATH, you need to execute the following code:

echo 'PATH=$PATH:~/home/user/kong/bazel-bin/build/kong-dev/openresty/bin' | sudo tee -a ~/.bashrc
echo 'PATH=$PATH:~/home/user/kong/bazel-bin/build/kong-dev/openresty/nginx/sbin' | sudo tee -a ~/.bashrc
echo 'PATH=$PATH:~/home/user/kong/bazel-bin/build/kong-dev/bin' | sudo tee -a ~/.bashrc

The user mentioned above could be /root, these code from .github/workflows/perf.yml:63
