Story

E2E tests exist in workspace e2e-tests/ directories (e.g., workspaces/*/e2e-tests/). Currently, RHDH configuration is hardcoded in tests/config/dynamic-plugins.yaml with local paths.

  We want to:
  - Discover E2E tests from workspace e2e-tests/ directories
  - Use spec.appConfigExamples from plugin metadata (workspaces/<ws>/metadata/*.yaml) to configure RHDH plugin.
  - Replace local plugin paths with published OCI image references

  Current State

  - E2E test framework exists in workspaces/<ws>/e2e-tests/
  - Uses rhdh-e2e-test-utils for Playwright fixtures and deployment helpers
  - tests/config/dynamic-plugins.yaml contains hardcoded local paths:

  plugins:
    - package: ./dynamic-plugins/dist/backstage-community-plugin-tech-radar
      disabled: false

  Desired State similar to integration test in github actions.

  - Dynamic generation of dynamic-plugins.yaml using:
    - spec.packageName from metadata
    - spec.appConfigExamples[0].content for plugin configuration
    - Published OCI image references

  Acceptance Criteria

  - OpenShift CI job discovers workspaces with e2e-tests/ directory
  - Plugin metadata (spec.appConfigExamples) is used for RHDH configuration
  - Published OCI images are referenced instead of local paths
