grafana/e2e/test-plugins

Test plugins

The e2e test server automatically scans and looks for plugins in this directory.

To add a new test plugin:

1. If provisioning is required you may update the YAML config file in /devenv.
2. Add the plugin ID to the allow_loading_unsigned_plugins setting in the test server's configuration file.

Building a test plugin with webpack

If you wish to build a test plugin with webpack, you may take a look at how the grafana-extensionstest-app is wired. A few things to keep in mind:

• the package name needs to be prefixed with @test-plugins/
• extend the webpack config from @grafana/plugin-configs and use custom webpack config to only copy the necessary files (see example here)
• keep dependency versions in sync with what's in core

Local development

1: Install frontend dependencies: yarn install --immutable

2: Build and watch the core frontend yarn start

3: Build and watch the test plugins yarn e2e:plugin:build:dev

4: Build the backend make build-go

5: Start the Grafana e2e test server with the provisioned test plugin PORT=3000 ./scripts/grafana-server/start-server
