Hi,  
I'm developing a plugin for kibana and I would like to integrate the kibana testing with our gitlab-ci without having an Desktop environment.  
is there a way to run yarn test without having a X environment for example inside a docker container with xvfb? looking at [jenkins\_selenium.sh](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/test/scripts/jenkins_selenium.sh) it should work, but this script loads a local elasticsearch.  
Is there a way to use a remote elasticsearch for testing with this script or run yarn test inside docker?

Can you share how you do your functional tests?

Thanks in advance,  
Duarte

It might be possible by setting the environment variables outlined here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-functional-tests.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-functional-tests.html)
