# Backport This will backport the following commits from `main` to `8.16`: - [[Security Solution] Fix redux action being fired because of unused react-router value (#217055)](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/217055) <!--- Backport version: 9.6.6 --> ### Questions ? Please refer to the [Backport tool documentation](https://github.com/sorenlouv/backport) <!--BACKPORT [{"author":{"name":"Kevin Qualters","email":"56408403+kqualters-elastic@users.noreply.github.com"},"sourceCommit":{"committedDate":"2025-04-16T14:13:44Z","message":"[Security Solution] Fix redux action being fired because of unused react-router value (#217055)\n\n## Summary\n\nThis pr fixes a bug with the RouteCapture component, used at a high\nlevel in the security solution component tree, to reflect url changes\ninto redux. The code previously used the full result of\n'react-router-dom' 's useLocation hook as the payload, which contains 4\nparameters, pathname, search, hash that we make use of, and a 4th that\nwas added sometime later by the library that is essentially a random id\ngenerated every time the hook is called, called key. We have never used\nthis, and it was being inadvertently copied into the redux state, and\nalso causing some other actions or hooks based listeners to run I think\nas well.\n\nBelow is the contrived example of going from the home page to an empty\nalerts page, and you can see 4 actions in the after, and 5 in the\nbefore, with 1 updating only the key. May reduce more unneeded actions\nwith more going on in the page, but exactly how many is not known.\nBefore:\n\n
If you have:
xpack.observability.unsafe.alertDetails.uptime.enabled: true
[For Uptime rule type] In Kibana configuration, will allow the user to navigate to the new Alert Details page, instead of the Alert Flyout when clicking on View alert details in the Alert table
Development
By default, Kibana will run with X-Pack installed as mentioned in the contributing guide.
Elasticsearch will run with a basic license. To run with a trial license, including security, you can specifying that with the yarn es command.
Example: yarn es snapshot --license trial --password changeme
By default, this will also set the password for native realm accounts to the password provided (changeme by default). This includes that of the kibana_system user which elasticsearch.username defaults to in development. If you wish to specify a password for a given native realm account, you can do that like so: --password.kibana_system=notsecure
Testing
For information on testing, see the Elastic functional test development guide.
Running functional tests
The functional UI tests, the API integration tests, and the SAML API integration tests are all run against a live browser, Kibana, and Elasticsearch install. Each set of tests is specified with a unique config that describes how to start the Elasticsearch server, the Kibana server, and what tests to run against them. The sets of tests that exist today are functional UI tests (specified by this config), API integration tests (specified by this config), and SAML API integration tests (specified by this config).
The script runs all sets of tests sequentially like so:
- builds Elasticsearch and X-Pack
- runs Elasticsearch with X-Pack
- starts up the Kibana server with X-Pack
- runs the functional UI tests against those servers
- tears down the servers
- repeats the same process for the API and SAML API integration test configs.
To do all of this in a single command run:
node scripts/functional_tests
Developing functional UI tests
If you are developing functional tests then you probably don't want to rebuild Elasticsearch and wait for all that setup on every test run, so instead use this command to build and start just the Elasticsearch and Kibana servers:
node scripts/functional_tests_server
After the servers are started, open a new terminal and run this command to run just the tests (without tearing down Elasticsearch or Kibana):
node scripts/functional_test_runner
For both of the above commands, it's crucial that you pass in --config to specify the same config file to both commands. This makes sure that the right tests will run against the right servers. Typically a set of tests and server configuration go together.

Running API integration tests
API integration tests are run with a unique setup usually without UI assets built for the Kibana server.
API integration tests are intended to test only programmatic API exposed by Kibana. There is no need to run browser and simulate user actions, which significantly reduces execution time. In addition, the configuration for API integration tests typically sets optimize.enabled=false for Kibana because UI assets are usually not needed for these tests.
To run only the API integration tests:
node scripts/functional_tests --config test/api_integration/config
Running SAML API integration tests
We also have SAML API integration tests which set up Elasticsearch and Kibana with SAML support. Run only API integration tests with SAML enabled like so:
node scripts/functional_tests --config test/security_api_integration/saml.config
Running Jest integration tests
Jest integration tests can be used to test behavior with Elasticsearch and the Kibana server.
yarn test:jest_integration
