… `rows[rowIndex]` (elastic#193791) ## Summary This PR fixes an issue present in 8.15, but which no longer exists after later refactoring, where saved search panels (possibly only ES|QL panels? It was hard to nail down since involved a race condition) could fail in dashboards when adding Unified Search filters that reduce the number of results in the grid. I'm still not 100% sure what the source of the issue was since it involved a race condition (didn't fail consistently for me locally) and internal EUI data grid code, but I have a hunch. The `undefined` errors occurred when trying to access a row by index from `DataTableContext` in certain cell renderers during the first render after search results had changed. I believe what was happening was the change to `DataTableContext` triggered a re-render of the cells before EUI data grid internally updated its state, resulting in attempts to access rows from within the cell renderers that no longer existed in the updated `DataTableContext`, and causing `undefined` reference errors. I'm making these changes in `main` instead of `8.15` directly because the updated approach is generally a safer way to retrieve rows and prevent similar issues in the future. Previously we added `rows` to `DataTableContext` and retrieved a single row by index using bracket notation, which can potentially return `undefined`, but TypeScript does not protect against it for us. Instead I've updated `DataTableContext` with a `getRowByIndex` method that correctly returns `DataTableRecord | undefined` and forces consumers to explicitly handle the `undefined` scenario. The PR will require some manual backporting to 8.15 since some things have changed since then, but it shouldn't be difficult. ### Checklist - [ ] Any text added follows [EUI's writing guidelines](https://elastic.github.io/eui/#/guidelines/writing), uses sentence case text and includes [i18n support](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/packages/kbn-i18n/README.md) - [ ] [Documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/development-documentation.html) was added for features that require explanation or tutorials - [x] [Unit or functional tests](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/development-tests.html) were updated or added to match the most common scenarios - [ ] [Flaky Test Runner](https://ci-stats.kibana.dev/trigger_flaky_test_runner/1) was used on any tests changed - [ ] Any UI touched in this PR is usable by keyboard only (learn more about [keyboard accessibility](https://webaim.org/techniques/keyboard/)) - [ ] Any UI touched in this PR does not create any new axe failures (run axe in browser: [FF](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/axe-devtools/), [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/axe-web-accessibility-tes/lhdoppojpmngadmnindnejefpokejbdd?hl=en-US)) - [ ] If a plugin configuration key changed, check if it needs to be allowlisted in the cloud and added to the [docker list](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/src/dev/build/tasks/os_packages/docker_generator/resources/base/bin/kibana-docker) - [ ] This renders correctly on smaller devices using a responsive layout.
