Replacing es_archives/reporting/ecommerce_kibana with kbn_archiver/reporting/ecommerce.json as part of migrating to kbn_archiver

[bhavyarm]

Part of #102552

These are the steps after you find out where is the .kibana data getting loaded in the test ( sometimes you can find it by name other times look at the file)

1. Load ecommerce_kibana data by running

NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 node --no-warnings scripts/es_archiver load x-pack/test/functional/es_archives/reporting/ecommerce_kibana --config test/functional/config.js  --es-url=http://elastic:changeme@localhost:9220 --kibana-url=http://elastic:changeme@localhost:5620

2. Find all the different types of saved objects in .kibana loaded in the first step by running

cat  x-pack/test/functional/es_archives/reporting/ecommerce_kibana/data.json | awk '{$1=$1};1' | fgrep '"type":' | fgrep -v '"type": "doc"' | sort | uniq

3. Now save .kibana json into KBN archiver by running (please feed the types from step 2 here - dashboard,index-pattern,search,visualization )

node scripts/kbn_archiver.js --config x-pack/test/functional/config.js save x-pack/test/functional/fixtures/kbn_archiver/reporting/ecommerce.json --type dashboard,index-pattern,search,visualization

4. Make the changes in the test file reporting.ts. Replace esArchiver loading .kibana and unloading:

await kibanaServer.importExport.load('x-pack/test/functional/fixtures/kbn_archiver/reporting/ecommerce.json');

await esArchiver.unload('x-pack/test/functional/es_archives/reporting/ecommerce');

5. Run the test - make sure there are no errors and test runs without any issues
6. Find which other tests are using the esArchiver from step 1 and replace it with kbnArchiver data path
7. Delete the corresponding .kibana esArchiver file - we are replacing that with the new file from step 3
8. Commit your changes

We got an image comparison failure:

0.09129735815213762 is something that we are getting constantly, so at least it is not a flakiness.

I checked failure screenshot and obviously there is no significant difference with the baseline, I can suggest running the test locally and see output.

@marius-dr might have other ideas

Looking at the screenshots, there seem to be a few problems:

1. the screenshot needs updating due to the font change. I think the baseline was added before last week when we got the proper font in.
2. there's a toast with "unable to update UI setting" which shouldn't be there.
3. The area chart seems completely different as well, maybe it was changed from Vislib to Lens.
4. same with the donut chart.

Also 9% is a lot of difference. I'd ask the reporting team if they want to update the baseline and lower that percentage.

Thanks @dmlemeshko @marius-dr I have skipped that test - created an issue #102911 and starting work on it.

This skipped test is running without any issues in my local and I don't have ui settings error anymore - #102911 . Once I merge this - I will unskip the screenshots.ts test under dashboard run it multiple times in CI and merge it.

@wayneseymour are these steps still valid? #102825 (comment)

Thanks!

[wayneseymour]

kinda yes, kinda no as things have changed. Normally that should work, but there can be many "gotchas" that make things difficult.
