v1.0.0-beta.34

Features

• Synthetics push command now supports bundling external packages from node_modules folder for browser monitors, users can now use external packages utility packages like lodash, moment.js, etc, in their synthetics scripts and push them instantaneously to Kibana. #580

  Example journey code below using an external package is-positive from NPM.

  // test.journey.ts
  import { journey, step, monitor, expect } from '@elastic/synthetics';
  import isPositive from 'is-positive';
  
  journey('bundle test', ({ page, params }) => {
    step('check if positive', () => {
      expect(isPositive(4)).toBe(true);
    });
  });

  If you run npm run push inside the synthetics project, we would bundle the whole journey file along with the package is-positive to make the experience smooth. However, there are a few caveats when pushing external modules.

  1. Packages that use native bindings will not work.
  2. Users cannot push bundles that are more than 800 Kilobytes.

• Introduce configuring project monitor settings in the Synthetics config file #592. Comes in handy when running push command, users would be able to configure project-related settings like projectId, kibana host, and schedule and save them for successive runs.

• Support the SYNTHETICS_API_KEY env variable for Kibana authentication when pushing monitors to Kibana #588
