TP1 will be support Istio 1.23 and will be integrated with kiali 1.89. We need to run kiali int test suite to verify it's working together.

AC:

• kiali integration tests are running as a part of downstream pipeline
• kiali cypress tests are optionally running as a part of downstream pipeline
• kiali ossmc tests are optionally running as a part of downstream pipeline
• All kiali tests are running with new kiali bundle image ( kiali iib will trigger downstream pipeline with kiali tests )

==========================================================================================

Status:

• Kiali integration test suite:
  • The job was set up and it set up demo app in the same way as upstream ci (install-demo-testing.sh with gateway api)
  • 4 failed tests:
    • TestGrafana - grafana is not in the istio-system, we can add it in the integration job only
    • TestIstioConfigList - missing TCPRoutes CRD, that crd is only in the GatewayAPI experimental, we use GA Gateway API in the pipeline
    • TestIstioConfigs - same as above
    • TestWorkloadIstioIngressEmptyProxyStatus - `istio-system` ns is hardcoded for istio gateway, -need new env variable (todo ticket: https://github.com/kiali/kiali/issues/7950)-
      • After discussion with Pavel and Nick, thinking about the usage of `install-demo-testing.sh` script as in the upstream CI. done by PR
    • TestWorkloadDetails - looks on issue with Kiali CR custom_dashboard settings done by PR1 and PR2
• Kiali cypress test suite:
  • The job was set up, there are 16 failed tests, some of them need to be adapted for different setup ( gateway API setup for bookinfo, ingress gateway in bookinfo app ns ). That needs to be done also on upstream (upstream issue: https://github.com/kiali/kiali/issues/7830 ). It will be done by in a different jira since this jira is only about set up downstream pipeline
• Kiali ossmc test suite:
  • The job was set up, there are some failures. It will be done by in a different jira since this jira is only about set up downstream pipeline

TODOs:

• refactor install job to support different IstioCR names
• add user workload prometheus to kiali test jobs
• add ingress gw input for traffic manager in kiali bookinfo install script ( PR )
• backport all changes into 2.1 branch (PR)
• add ossmc into install service mesh3 job
