Inputs to Collect
- Module root (repo-relative path to the plugin/package directory, e.g.
x-pack/platform/plugins/shared/maps) - Test type:
api,ui, orboth - Scout root directory name under
<moduleRoot>/test/- Default:
scout(creates<moduleRoot>/test/scout/...) - Custom config set:
scout_<configSet>(for examplescout_uiam_local,scout_cspm_agentless)
- Default:
- For UI scaffolds: whether tests can run in parallel (space-isolated). Default is parallel; use sequential when isolation is not possible.
