To run the tests:
```
yarn e2e-tests
yarn e2e
```
By default, the end-to-end tests assume Grafana is available on `localhost:3000`. To use a specific URL, set the `BASE_URL` environment variable:
By default, the end-to-end tests starts a Grafana instance listening on `localhost:3001`. To use a specific URL, set the `BASE_URL` environment variable:
```
BASE_URL=http://localhost:3333 yarn e2e-tests
BASE_URL=http://localhost:3333 yarn e2e
```
To follow the tests in the browser while they're running, use the `yarn e2e-tests:debug` instead.

If you want to pick a test first, use the `yarn e2e:dev`, to pick a test and follow the test in the browser while it runs.
```
yarn e2e:dev

To retain your `ulimit` configuration, i.e. so it will be remembered for future sessions, you need to commit it to your command line shell initialization file. Which file this will be depends on the shell you are using, here are some examples:
* zsh -> ~/.zshrc
* bash -> ~/.bashrc
Commit your ulimit configuration to your shell initialization file as follows ($LIMIT being your chosen limit and $INIT_FILE being the initialization file for your shell):
