While testing Kibana-6.6.1, i have encountered an issue i.e [https://snapshots.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss-6.6.1-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz](https://snapshots.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss-6.6.1-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz)" is not found. Due to this the test cases are getting failed.

Error\_log:-

```

```

Could anyone please help me with these errors?

Elasticsearch snapshots for old patch releases expire as new patch release snapshots are generated.

I would recommend updating your 6.6 branch to the latests so the tests download `https://snapshots.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.6.3-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz`

If that is not an option, you can configure the test runner to access a running version of elasticsearch. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-functional-tests.html#\_running\_functional\_tests](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-functional-tests.html#_running_functional_tests) `Custom option`
