* Smarter copying of the rest specs and tests (#52114)
This PR addresses the unnecessary copying of the rest specs and allows
for better semantics for which specs and tests are copied. By default
the rest specs will get copied if the project applies
`elasticsearch.standalone-rest-test` or `esplugin` and the project
has rest tests or you configure the custom extension `restResources`.
This PR also removes the need for dozens of places where the x-pack
specs were copied by supporting copying of the x-pack rest specs too.
The plugin/task introduced here can also copy the rest tests to the
local project through a similar configuration.
The new plugin/task allows a user to minimize the surface area of
which rest specs are copied. Per project can be configured to include
only a subset of the specs (or tests). Configuring a project to only
copy the specs when actually needed should help with build cache hit
rates since we can better define what is actually in use.
However, project level optimizations for build cache hit rates are
not included with this PR.
Also, with this PR you can no longer use the includePackaged flag on
integTest task.
The following items are included in this PR:
* new plugin: `elasticsearch.rest-resources`
* new tasks: CopyRestApiTask and CopyRestTestsTask - performs the copy
* new extension 'restResources'
```
restResources {
restApi {
includeCore 'foo' , 'bar' //will include the core specs that start with foo and bar
includeXpack 'baz' //will include x-pack specs that start with baz
}
restTests {
includeCore 'foo', 'bar' //will include the core tests that start with foo and bar
includeXpack 'baz' //will include the x-pack tests that start with baz
}
}
```
The REST tests for autoscaling either need to be skipped in a
non-snapshot build, or alternatively, the feature flag registered so
that autoscaling can be enabled. We prefer the latter approach, as it
allows us to also test autoscaling in non-snapshot builds incrementally,
instead of at the end of development as autoscaling prepares for
release. This commit registers the autoscaling feature flag in REST
tests for non-snapshot builds.
The main purpose of this commit is to add a single autoscaling REST
endpoint skeleton, for the purpose of starting to build out the build
and testing infrastructure that will surround it. For example, rather
than commiting a fully-functioning autoscaling API, we introduce here
the skeleton so that we can start wiring up the build and testing
infrastructure, establish security roles/permissions, an so on. This
way, in a forthcoming PR that introduces actual functionality, that PR
will be smaller and have less distractions around that sort of
infrastructure.
