What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the creation, debugging, and review of API tests for Kibana's Scout framework, ensuring robust and efficient testing of API endpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API Test Creation: Write and structure API tests using the apiTest fixture.
  • Authentication Handling: Choose between API keys (requestAuth) for api/* endpoints and cookies (samlAuth) for internal/* endpoints.
  • Assertion Library: Utilize custom matchers for status codes, headers, and response bodies.
  • Service Integration: Leverage apiServices for server-side helpers and kbnClient for direct Elasticsearch interaction.
  • Use Case: When developing a new API endpoint in Kibana, use this Skill to write comprehensive tests that cover authentication, request/response validation, and side effects.

Quick Start

Use the scout-api-testing skill to write a new API test for the /api/my_plugin/users endpoint, authenticating with an API key.
