kibana/test/plugin_functional

Plugin Functional Tests

This folder contains plugin functional tests, i.e. functional tests that should be executed against a Kibana instance with specific test plugins available.

To add a plugin to the instance, just place the plugin folder in the plugins directory.

Add new test suites into the test_suites folder and reference them from the config.js file. These test suites work the same as regular functional test except that they are executed against a Kibana with all plugins (from the plugins directory) installed.

Run the test

To run these tests during development you can use the following commands:

# Start the test server (can continue running)
node scripts/functional_tests_server.js --config test/plugin_functional/config.js
# Start a test run
node scripts/functional_test_runner.js --config test/plugin_functional/config.js

Run Kibana with a test plugin

In case you want to start Kibana with one of the test plugins (e.g. for developing the test plugin), you can just run:

yarn start --plugin-path=test/plugin_functional/plugins/<plugin_folder>
