This directory contains scripts useful for interacting with Kibana tools in development. Use the node executable and `--help` flag to learn about how they work:
Runs all the functional tests: selenium tests and api integration tests. List configs with multiple `--config` arguments. Uses the [@kbn/test](../packages/kbn-test) library to run Elasticsearch and Kibana servers and tests against those servers, for multiple server+test setups. In particular, calls out to [`runTests()`](../packages/kbn-test/src/functional_tests/tasks.js). Can be run on a single config.
Starts just the Elasticsearch and Kibana servers given a single config, i.e. via `--config test/functional/config.js` or `--config test/api_integration/config`. Allows the user to start just the servers with this script, and keep them running while running tests against these servers. The idea is that the same config file configures both Elasticsearch and Kibana servers. Uses the [`startServers()`](../packages/kbn-test/src/functional_tests/tasks.js#L52-L80) method from [@kbn/test](../packages/kbn-test) library.
Example. Start servers _and_ run tests, separately, but using the same config:
