Add support for resouce/fixture files

[seanstory]

I'd like to write a synthetic journey that tests a file upload UI. Unfortunately, I'm hitting errors like:

error executing step: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/tmp/elastic-synthetics-unzip-382249059/lib/common/helper/fixtures/sample.pdf'

Upon further investigation, it seems that the PDF file we have in our source code isn't actually included in the tree under /tmp/elastic-synthetics-unzip-*. @vigneshshanmugam indicated that this is because of previous security concerns that prevented non-source-code file types from being included in the bundle, but that perhaps some exceptions could be made.

Same probleme here. Watching for further updates

I work with ELK + playwright. I found a workaround => i have to bufferize the image that i want to upload
// 1 - encode the image
const imageEncoded = Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync('path_image.jpg')).toString('base64')
// 2 -do playwright request multipart

let response = await request.post(`${params.API_URL}/api/endpoint`, {{
  headers: {
    Accept: 'application/json',
    Authorization: 'Bearer 437a7a2b4d07c66c4b0f07d3900816a6'
  },
  multipart: {
    id: 'myId-1234',
    time: 1730823793,
    picture: {
      name: 'picture',
      mimeType: 'image/jpg',
      buffer: Buffer.from(imageEncoded, 'base64')
    },
  }
}
  const { body } = await response.json()
  expect(response.status()).toBe(200)

i hope it helps

I'm thinking your issue wasn't related @babwade - this ticket is about the fact that path_image.jpg wouldn't actually be available on the filesystem when the code is run. In your case, maybe the file was actually included in the /tmp/elastic-synthetics-unzip-*, but seems that not all files are. Buffering wouldn't help if you couldn't read the file from disk to start with.
