});- Scout package: Used
@kbn/scoutas this is a platform test located insrc/platform/test/functional/ - Fixtures selected: Included
page,pageObjects,kbnClient, andbrowserAuthas this is a UI test requiring browser automation, page objects for navigation/interaction, and setup/teardown operations - Structure preservation: Maintained the nested describe structure with two modes (data view and ES|QL), and kept the runComparisonTests logic inline within each mode's test cases since Scout doesn't use helper functions in the same way
- Test duplication: The same 6 test scenarios run in both modes with slightly different parameters (table headers, field lists, row indices). Each mode has identical test cases with mode-specific expected values
- Hooks conversion:
- Outer
before/after→test.beforeAll/test.afterAll - Inner
beforehooks →test.beforeAll(scoped to each describe block)
- Outer
- Service mapping: FTR services mapped to Scout fixtures:
esArchiver→kbnClient(will use esArchiver through kbnClient)kibanaServer→kbnClientsecurity→browserAuthdataGrid,monacoEditor,testSubjects→pageorpageObjectstimePicker,discover,unifiedFieldList→pageObjects
None - the migration was straightforward with clear patterns for UI tests and well-defined test structure.
