Use meilisearch EE

[Strift]

Starting from Meilisearch v1.28, the community and enterprise editions of Meilisearch have distinct binaries.

To allow full-feature coverage, this PR updates the repository to test against the enterprise edition instead of the default community edition by using the getmeili/meilisearch-enterprise Docker image.

Walkthrough

Docker image references are updated from the standard Meilisearch repository to the enterprise variant across CI/CD workflows, helper scripts, and documentation. All changes preserve version tags and environment variable handling.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
GitHub Actions Workflows .github/workflows/meilisearch-prototype-tests.yml, .github/workflows/pre-release-tests.yml, .github/workflows/tests.yml	Updated Meilisearch container image references from getmeili/meilisearch to getmeili/meilisearch-enterprise in three jobs (cypress-autocomplete-client-run, cypress-instant-meilisearch-run, integration_tests) while preserving version tags and environment variable interpolation.
Docker Version Script .github/scripts/prototype-docker-version.sh	Modified Docker Hub repository resolution from getmeili/meilisearch to getmeili/meilisearch-enterprise in the prototype image version lookup.
Documentation CONTRIBUTING.md	Updated sample Docker commands and development workflow examples to use getmeili/meilisearch-enterprise:latest instead of the standard image repository.

CONTRIBUTING.md (2)

41-42: Documentation commands are aligned with CI workflow changes.

The docker pull and docker run commands are correctly updated to reference the enterprise image. Developers following these instructions will now test against the same image as the CI/CD pipelines.

---

194-194: Prototype branch naming example is updated consistently.

The reference to the Docker Hub enterprise image tags in the beta release process documentation is consistent with the image migration across the repository.

.github/workflows/tests.yml (1)

26-26: All service images are consistently updated to enterprise variant.

The three jobs that use Meilisearch services (cypress-autocomplete-client-run, cypress-instant-meilisearch-run, and integration_tests) are all correctly updated to use getmeili/meilisearch-enterprise:latest. The environment configuration and port mappings remain unchanged.

Also applies to: 76-76, 126-126

.github/workflows/meilisearch-prototype-tests.yml (1)

37-37: Prototype workflow image updates are consistent and properly integrated.

All three test jobs correctly reference getmeili/meilisearch-enterprise:${{ needs.meilisearch-version.outputs.version }}. The version injection from the meilisearch-version job is preserved, and the integration with the updated .github/scripts/prototype-docker-version.sh script maintains proper dependency chaining.

Also applies to: 77-77, 117-117

.github/scripts/prototype-docker-version.sh (1)

18-18: Docker Hub API update correctly targets enterprise image repository.

Line 18 updates the repository reference from getmeili/meilisearch to getmeili/meilisearch-enterprise, which is publicly accessible on Docker Hub. The downstream processing logic (jq, grep, head) remains unchanged and will continue to work as expected.

.github/workflows/pre-release-tests.yml (1)

35-35: Pre-release workflow image updates are correct.

All three test jobs correctly reference getmeili/meilisearch-enterprise:${{ needs.meilisearch-version.outputs.version }} at lines 35, 76, and 117. The version fetching mechanism (from the integration-guides repository's get-latest-meilisearch-rc.sh script) is properly configured and will resolve to whatever version tag that script provides.

Note: Docker Hub shows nightly and stable version tags (v1.29.0, v1.28.2, etc.) available for the enterprise image, though explicit pre-release tags with -rc, -beta, or -alpha suffixes are not present in the current tag listing. Verify that the get-latest-meilisearch-rc.sh script returns a tag that exists on Docker Hub.

Also applies to: 76-76, 117-117
