Failed Tests

Root Cause

The quickstart plugin ships baked into the RHDH image via dynamic-plugins.default.yaml. The test's dynamic-plugins.yaml uses plugins: [] to avoid duplicate config key conflicts. In nightly mode, the e2e-test-utils framework processes metadata and generates a disabled: true override for the quickstart plugin, disabling the baked-in version. The install log confirms:

Disabling OCI plugin oci://registry.access.redhat.com/rhdh/red-hat-developer-hub-backstage-plugin-quickstart@sha256:11b3a3...

Remediation

Target branch: main

The test's beforeAll explicitly passes dynamicPlugins: "tests/config/dynamic-plugins.yaml". In nightly mode, this triggers the framework to generate disabled: true. Fix by conditionally omitting the dynamicPlugins option in nightly mode so the framework uses baked-in defaults without generating overrides.

In workspaces/quickstart/e2e-tests/tests/specs/quick-start.spec.ts, update the beforeAll (around line 17):

const isNightly = !!process.env.E2E_NIGHTLY_MODE;
await rhdh.configure({
  auth: "keycloak",
  ...(!isNightly && { dynamicPlugins: "tests/config/dynamic-plugins.yaml" }),
});

Alternatively, create a workspaces/quickstart/e2e-tests/tests/config/dynamic-plugins-nightly.yaml that keeps the quickstart plugin enabled by not overriding the default entry.
