Plugin tests require having rest-api tests, and currently copy that spec
from a directory in the root of the plugin source into the test
resources. This change moves the rest-api-spec dir into test resources
so it is like any other test resources. It also removes unnecessary
configuration for resources from the shared plugin pom.
This commit removes unnecesssary use of ExceptionHelpers where we actually
should serialize / deserialize the actual exception. This commit also
fixes one of the oddest problems where the actual exception was never
rendered / printed if `all shards failed` due to a missing cause.
This commit unfortunately doesn't fix Snapshot/Restore which is almost
unfixable since it has to serialize XContent and read from it which can't
transport exceptions.
When running a RestIT test from the IDE, you actually start an internal node which does not automatically load the plugin you would like to test.
We need to add:
```java
@Override
protected Collection<Class<? extends Plugin>> nodePlugins() {
return pluginList(PLUGIN_HERE.class);
}
```
Everything works fine when running from maven because each test basically:
* installs elasticsearch
* installs one plugin
* starts elasticsearch with this plugin loaded
* runs the test
Note that this PR only fixes the fact we run an internal cluster with the expected plugin.
Cloud tests will still fail when run from the IDE because is such a case you actually start an internal node with many mock plugins.
And REST test suite for cloud plugins basically checks if the plugin is running by checking the output of NodesInfo API.
And we check:
```yml
- match: { nodes.$master.plugins.0.name: cloud-azure }
- match: { nodes.$master.plugins.0.jvm: true }
```
But in that case, this condition is certainly false as we started also `mock-transport-service`, `mock-index-store`, `mock-engine-factory`, `node-mocks`, `asserting-local-transport`, `mock-search-service`.
Closes#13479
Until now we had a cloud-aws plugin which is providing 2 disctinct features:
* discovery on EC2
* snapshot/restore on S3
This commit splits the plugin by feature so people can use either one or the other or both features.
Doc is updated accordingly.
