Summary

Closes https://github.com/elastic/appex-qa-team/issues/708

Adds Scout support for plugins located in /examples, in particular:

  • scout playwright config discovery
  • stateful shared config to use for all plugins (saves CI runtime by avoiding restarts)
  • registration in scout_ci_config.yml for CI run

Code change:

loadScoutManifestFile reads the Scout .meta/*.json next to a Playwright config (test ids, tags, etc.), or returns a placeholder when that file is not present so fromPath still works. It was extracted so both the regular plugin/package path parsing and the new examples/ path parsing share the same manifest-loading logic instead of duplicating it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change extends Scout testing framework support to cover example plugins located in examples/ and x-pack/examples/ directories. It introduces new path matching utilities to distinguish example plugin scout configurations, refactors module metadata resolution to load plugin identity from kibana.jsonc files for example plugins, and adds normalized handling of the owner manifest field as either a string or array. New Scout server configurations and helper functions are added to generate server arguments for example plugin testing. The examples/flyout_system plugin is updated with platform group metadata and visibility settings.

[scout] support example plugins (elastic#259170)

## Summary

Closes elastic/appex-qa-team#708

### Adds Scout support for plugins located in `/examples`, in
particular:

- scout playwright config discovery
- stateful shared config to use for all plugins (saves CI runtime by
avoiding restarts)
- registration in `scout_ci_config.yml` for CI run

### Code change:

`loadScoutManifestFile` reads the Scout .meta/*.json next to a
Playwright config (test ids, tags, etc.), or returns a placeholder when
that file is not present so fromPath still works. It was extracted so
both the regular plugin/package path parsing and the new `examples/`
path parsing share the same manifest-loading logic instead of
duplicating it.

https://github.com/elastic/appex-qa-team/issues/708\n\n### Adds Scout
support for plugins located in `/examples`, in\nparticular:\n\n- scout
playwright config discovery\n- stateful shared config to use for all
plugins (saves CI runtime by\navoiding restarts)\n- registration in
`scout_ci_config.yml` for CI run\n\n### Code
change:\n\n`loadScoutManifestFile` reads the Scout .meta/*.json next to
a\nPlaywright config (test ids, tags, etc.), or returns a placeholder
when\nthat file is not present so fromPath still works. It was extracted
so\nboth the regular plugin/package path parsing and the new
`examples/`\npath parsing share the same manifest-loading logic instead
of\nduplicating it.\n\n---------\n\nCo-authored-by: Stelios Mavro
