  - All persisted data is now referenced with the single $ syntax (old syntax is still supported):
    - $persistedData.field$
  - Persisted data resolution now starts in its own scope and broadens if no matching stepKey was found in the current scope.
  - Added support for referencing suite persisted data in tests.
  - Added support for removing data created in between test scopes (test, before/after, suite).
- An attribute skipReadiness has been added to all test actions, allowing the individual test action to completely bypass the ReadinessExtension if it is enabled.

Fixes

To prevent Allure reporting from collating tests with identical title, the testCaseId annotation is now automatically prepended to the title annotation when tests are generated.
The magentoCLI command now correctly removes index.php if it is present in the MAGENTO_BASE_URL.
Invalid XML errors now indicate which XML file caused the error.
Attempting to extend a test that does not exist now skips the generation of the test.
Fixed an issue where a suite would generate invalid PHP if the before or after contained only createData actions.
Fixed an issue where a selector inside an actionGroup would incorrectly append the actionGroup's stepKey to the selector.

2.3.5

Fixes

Removed PageReadinessExtension from default enabled extensions due to Jenkins instability.

2.3.4

Fixes

MagentoWebDriver overrides parent::_after() function and remaps to runAfter(), necessary to solve compatibility issues in Codeception 2.3.x.

2.3.3

Fixes

Defaults in etc/config/functional.suite.dist.yml changed: window-size to 1280x1024, and removed --ingonito flag.

2.3.2

Fixes

The executeJs function no longer escapes persisted variables referenced via $$persisted.key$$.
Extending a test no longer fails to generate the parent test's before/after blocks if the parent was skipped.

2.3.1

Enhancements

Maintainability
- mftf build:project now copies over the command.php file into the parent Magento installation, if detected.

2.3.0

Enhancements

Traceability
- MFTF now outputs generation run-time information, warnings, and errors to an mftf.log file.
- Overall error messages for various generation errors have been improved. Usage of the --debug flag provides file-specific errors for all XML-related errors.
- Allure Reports now require a unique story and title combination, to prevent collisions in Allure Report generation.
- The features annotation now ignores user input and defaults to the module the test lives under (for clear Allure organization).
- The <group value="skip"/> annotation has been replaced with a <skip> annotation, allowing for nested IssueId elements.
- Tests now require the following annotations: stories, title, description, severity.
  - This will be enforced in a future major release.
Modularity
- MFTF has been decoupled from MagentoCE:
  - MFTF can now generate and run tests by itself via bin/mftf commands.
  - It is now a top level MagentoCE dependency, and no longer relies on supporting files in MagentoCE.
  - It can be used as an isolated dependency for Magento projects such as extensions.
- generate:tests now warns the user if any declared <page> has an inconsistent module (Backend vs Magento_Backend)
- The --force flag now completely ignores checking of the Magento Installation, allowing generation of tests without a Magento Instance to be running.
Customizability
- Various test materials can now be extended via an extends="ExistingMaterial" attribute. This allows for creation of simple copies of any entity, actionGroup, or test, with small modifications.
- test and actionGroup deltas can now be provided in bulk via a before/after attribute on the test or actionGroup element. Deltas provided this way do not need individual before/after attributes, and are inserted sequentially.
- Secure and sensitive test data can now be stored and used via a new .credentials file, with declaration and usage syntax similar to .env file references.
- A new <generateDate> action has been added to allow users to create and use dates according to the given date and format.
  - See DevDocs for more information on all above Customizability features.
Maintainability
- New bin/mftf commands have been introduced with parity to existing robo commands.
  - robo commands are still supported, but will be deprecated in a future major release.
- The mftf upgrade:tests command has been introduced, which runs all test upgrade scripts against the provided path.
  - A new upgrade script was created to replace all test material schema paths to instead use a URN path.
- The mftf generate:urn-catalog command has been introduced to create a URN catalog in PHPStorm to support the above upgrade.
- A warning is now shown on generation if a page's url is referenced without specifying the url ({{page}} vs {{page.url}}).
- An error is now thrown if any test materials contain any overriding element (eg different <element>s in a <section> with the same name)
  - This previously would cause the last read element to override the previous, causing a silent but potentially incorrect test addition.
- Test distribution algorithm for --config parallel has been enhanced to take average step length into account.

Fixes

_after hook of tests now executes if a non test-related failure causes the test to error.
Fixed periods in Allure Report showing up as •.
Fixed Windows incompatibility of relative paths in various files.
Suites will no longer generate if they do not contain any tests.
Fixed an issue in generation where users could not use javascript variables in executeJS actions.
Fixed an issue in generation where entity replacement in action-groups replaced all entities with the first reference found.
Fixed an issue in generation where createData actions inside actionGroups could not properly reference the given createDataKey.
Fixed an issue where suites could not generate if they included an actionGroup with two arguments.
Fixed an issue in generation where calling the same entity twice (with different parameters) would replace both calls with the first resolved value.
The magentoCLI action now correctly executes the given command if the MAGENTO_BASE_URL contains index.php after the domain (ex https://magento.instance/index.php)
The stepKey attribute can no longer be an empty.
Variable substitution has been enabled for regex and command attributes in test actions.

2.2.0

Enhancements

Traceability
- Javascript errors are now logged and reported in test output.
- Test failures are no longer overwritten by failures in an <after> hook.
- Tests will no longer execute an <after> hook twice if a failure triggered in the <after> hook.
- Tests marked with <group value="skip"> will now appear in generated Allure reports.
  - Along with the above, the robo group command no longer omits the skip group (skipped tests are picked up but not fully executed).
Modularity
- MFTF no longer relies on relative pathing to determine its path to tests or Magento (favoring composer information if available).
- Tests and test materials are now read in from Magento modules as well as extensions in addition to dev/tests/acceptance.
  - See DevDocs Getting Started for details on expected paths and merge order.
Customizability

  - Consolidation of preconditions can be achieved via use of <before/after> tags in a <suite>
    - All normal test actions are supported
    - Data returned from actions is not available for reference in subsequent tests (createData or grab actions).
  - robo generate:tests generates all suites and tests, and can be given a JSON configuration to generate specific test/suites.
  - See MFTF Devdocs "Suite" page for more details.
- <deleteData> may now be called against a url instead of a stepKey reference.
- <dragAndDrop> may now be given an additional x/y offset.
- <executeJS> now returns a variable based on what the executed script returns.
- Added <element> type="block".
- <page> elements may now be blank (contain no child sections).
Maintainability
- robo generate:tests --config parallel now accepts a --lines argument, for grouping and sorting based on test length.
- robo generate:tests now checks for:
  - Duplicate step keys within an actionGroup.
  - Ambiguous or invalid stepKey references (in merge files).
- robo generate:tests now suppresses warnings by default. The command now accepts a --verbose flag to show full output including warnings.

Fixes

Exception message for the <conditionalClick> action now correctly references the selector given.
Usage of multiple parameterized elements in a selector now correctly resolves all element references.
Usage of multiple uniqueness references on the same entity now generate correctly.
Persisted entity references are correctly interpolated with <page> url of type="admin".

#31 -- Can't run tests without a store having "default" store code (fixed in #86)

2.1.2

Enhancements

Added support for PHP version 7.2

2.1.1

Enhancements

Modularity
- MFTF now supports the existence of tests as composer package dependencies or as living alongside core modules. Supported paths:
  - magento2ce/vendor/[vendor]/[module]/Test/Acceptance
  - magento2ce/app/code/[vendor]/[module]/Test/Acceptance
Maintainability
- Robo command generate:tests now accepts a --nodes argument that specifies the number of test manifest files to generate for parallel configuration.

Fixes

Data returned by grab and createData actions can now be used in <actionGroup> test steps by their stepKey reference.
Fixed an issue where <requiredEntity> elements inside <entity> data xml would overwrite one another when merged.
Fixed an issue where <object> elements inside <operation> metadata xml would overwrite one another when merged.
Nested assertion syntax now correctly allows for values passed in to resolve {{entity.data}} references.
Test action <selectMultiOption> now correctly resolves entity references passed in to filterSelector and optionSelector.
The robo command generate:tests --force no longer requires a MAGENTO_BASE_URL to be defined in the .env file.
All feature and story annotations now live under in the method and not class level in output test php.
- This is to work around a bug with the Allure-Codeception adapter version 1.2.6, which was a dependency update in MFTF 2.1.0.

2.1.0

Enhancements

Traceability
- Severity in <annotation> tags now properly reflect Magento severity values.
Modularity
- Added ability to pass in simple values to actionGroups via addition of type attribute in actionGroup <argument> declaration.
  - For examples, see devdocs article on actionGroups.
- Merging resolution now depends on Magento instance's installed modules. This also means merging order now follows the expected module merging order.
Customizability
- Added <assertArrayIsSorted> action. This action takes in an array of data and asserts that the array is properly sorted, according to the provided sortOrder
- Added <selectMultipleOptions> action. This is a variation of <searchAndSelectOptions> that is given a filterSelector, optionSelector, and an <array> of options to select.
  - For a working sample, see SearchAndMultiselectActionGroup.xml under Catalog in magento2ce.
- Test actions that deal with <url...> now utilize and grab the page's full url, not just the /path?query#fragment portion.
- All <assert...> actions support a clearer, more readable nested syntax.
  - Both old and new syntax are supported. See devdocs Assertions article for examples.
- Added support for overriding a data-entity's field values during test runtime, prior to persistence via <createData> actions.
- Added removeBackend="true" attribute to <operation>. Only applicable to operation definitions of type="adminFormKey", attribute prevents pre-pending of MAGENTO_BACKEND_NAME to the url specified.
  - Specific to use case where adminFormKey operations don't follow MAGENTO_BASE_URL/MAGENTO_BACKEND_NAME/MAGENTO_BACKEND_NAME/API_URL format.
Readability
- Data Entities used in tests (<test>, <page>, <section>, <element>, <data>) now require alphanumeric naming.
Maintainability
- Documentation for all test actions have been added to XML schema. Turning on documentation hinting will display relevant information while writing test XML.
- All references to .env file contents are now resolved at test runtime, as opposed to generation.

Fixes

Fixed an issue with using the character - in parameterized selector references.
- Users should now be able to use any characters except for ' when providing a 'stringLiteral' to a parameterized selector/url.
Fixed an issue where entity substitution was not enabled in all <assert...> test actions.

GitHub Issues/Pull requests:

#37 -- Unable to make API requests using self signed certificate to HTTPS domain (fixed in #39)

2.0.3

Enhancements

Readability
- Added the ability to refer to custom_attribute data in persisted entities via key instead of index.
  - ex. url_key in category entity: $category.custom_attributes[3][value]$ and $category.custom_attributes[url_key]$ are both valid.
Maintainability
- Added check for duplicate stepKey attributes at test generation. This check is scoped to <testAction> tags within a single <test> tag in a single file.

Fixes

Fixed inability to use <actionGroup> with <arguments> in test hooks.
Fixed inability to use 0 as data in an entity.
Fixed an issue where using <annotation> tag of <useCaseId> would cause test generation failures.
Fixed an issue where the <closeAdminNotification> action could not be used twice in in a <test>.
Fixed an issue where specifying duplicate test actions in test delta's would cause generation errors.
Fixed an issue where test failure screenshots were being taken at the end of the test hook, as opposed to at the point of failure.
Operation metadata with an auth of type adminFormKey will now automatically append specified MAGENTO_BACKEND_NAME if necessary.

2.0.2

Enhancements

Customizability
- Added the <magentoCLI> test action. Action takes the given command="" and passes it for execution in Magento Environment.
  - Note: Installation step to enable above action has been added. See Step 5 in the MFTF Getting Started article.
Maintainability
- Tests now run actions declared in <after> hook in both successful and failed test runs.

Fixes

Fixed inability to use [] characters within selector/url parameters.
Fixed a bug where the <formatMoney> action did not return a variable for test use.
Fixed a bug where the <waitForLoadingMaskToDisappear> action could not be used twice in an <actionGroup>.

2.0.1

Fixes

Fixed an issue with group annotation.

2.0.0

Enhancements

Modularity
- Replaced the <loginAsAdmin> test action with the action group LoginAsAdmin.
- Added the .env file variable CUSTOM_MODULE_PATHS which can be used to point to any custom extensions that you may want to write tests against.
- Added the <page area=".."> property to distinguish between admin and storefront.
- Added support for SectionName.elementName references in any function attributes.
Customizability
- Changed page objects where area="admin" to prepend the MAGENTO_BACKEND_NAME value from the .env file.
- Added support for HTTP requests that do not require authentication.
Readability
- Renamed <config> XML root nodes to match the content they contain, e.g. <tests> or <pages>.
- Renamed all instances of the word Cest with Test. The Cest name will no longer be used in the MFTF project.
Maintainability
- Removed the returnVariable property from any test actions that return values. Instead, the stepKey property will be used as the name of the variable and be referenced as before.

Fixes

Fixed the unselectOption.parameterArray property to work as expected.
Fixed a crash if you had a system environment variable set with the same name as any variable in the .env file.
Fixed any actions that refer to CurrentUrl, such as <seeInCurrentUrl>, to now look at the full webdriver address.
Fixed the <waitForPageLoad> test action to not assume that you always want to dismiss UI notifications.
