Release v0.5.0

a.k.a. the OX “Cloud ready” release

features

• [beta] add alternative provisioning using the Reseller SOAP API of the MW (incl. OX Cloud Plugins)
  • implement the same interface as for the current provisioning modules (users, contexts)
  • additionally some extra support like hasTaxonomy for contexts
  • this is currently meant as a preview/beta release, so there might be breaking changes to this API in the (near) future
• add hasConfig API for contexts (thanks @joeran.kuschel for initial implementation)
• breaking Context#create and User#create now always return fresh contexts/users (thanks @bjoern.koester for the inspiration)
  • in case, the item already exists, a new id will be "guessed" and a fresh item is created instead
  • to re-use existing items, there now is a reuse function, which works very similar to create but expects the item to be present
• provisioning hooks for users and contexts
  • it's now possible to register event handlers on certain hooks like “user created” or “context removed”.
• breaking remove prefix option from login helper
  • the mock part of appserver is considered deprecated and existing code should be ported to MockRequest helper
• add User#login getter function as unified interface to get login credentials
• breaking remove haveCapability/dontHaveCapability helpers, those have been part of users/contexts API for quite some time

fixes/smaller changes

• improvements to the filterSuite plugin
  • better distribution when calculating partitions
  • better handling of disabled tests when calculating partitions
• improve login helper timing (thanks @daniel.dickhaus for the the idea and initial implementation)
  • the UI is considered “finished booting”, after the busy spinner animation goes away
• improve logout actor by waiting for navigation instead of “well-known” elements which might not be available in certain scenarios
• consider global.codecept_dir variable for relative file references (better compatibility with CodeceptJS upstream helpers)
• improvements to haveSettings helper when using multiple MW nodes
  • there still is room for improvement but at least we try to end up on the same node with all clients in use (nodejs + browser)
  • currently synchronizes the JSESSIONID cookie to use the same node for all clients during a test
• fix broken sessions for getSessionForUser by checking for a working session first and doing a relogin if needed
• more robust way to determine filestorage id for contexts (thanks @joeran.kuschel)
