Added

#3814 [vividus] Introduce expressions for URL parsing

New expressions:

• #{extractHostFromUrl($url)}
• #{extractPathFromUrl($url)}
• #{extractQueryFromUrl($url)}

#3805 [vividus] Add optional orderparameter to SORTING transformer

The sorting orders: ASCENDING (default) or DESCENDING

#3872 [vividus] Add ability to init variable with binary data

For example:

Given I initialize scenario variable `excel-document` with value `${response-as-bytes}`

#3800 [vividus-plugin-web-app] Introduce OS independent CONTROL key

Windows/Unix and macOS platforms have different keyboards. For example, Ctrl+C combination is used to copy text on Windows and Unix, but ⌘ Command+C should be used on macOS with default preferences.
In order to close this gap VIVIDUS offers unique key OS_INDEPENDENT_CONTROL: it is mapped to
CONTROL key on Windows/Unix and to COMMAND key on macOS. Using this key it is possible to make tests fully platform independent.
Here is an example how to select all text in the focused field and copy it to the clipboard on any OS

When I execute sequence of actions:
|type      |argument                 |
|KEY_DOWN  |OS_INDEPENDENT_CONTROL, a|
|KEY_UP    |a, OS_INDEPENDENT_CONTROL|
|KEY_DOWN  |OS_INDEPENDENT_CONTROL, c|
|KEY_UP    |c, OS_INDEPENDENT_CONTROL|

#3825 [vividus-plugin-web-app] Add step to close browser

New step syntax:

When I close browser

#3820 (Closes #3812) [vividus-plugin-web-app][vividus-plugin-mobile-app] Add ability to retry session creation on HTTP connect timeout

New property is added:

selenium.grid.retry-session-creation-on-http-connect-timeout=false

It defines whether to retry the session creation at Selenium Grid in case of HTTP
connect timeout. This flag may be useful when tests are executed via intermittent network connection.

#3834 (Closes #3806) [vividus-plugin-aws-*] Add step to configure AWS authentication

New step syntax:

When I configure $awsCredentialsScope-scoped AWS credentials with access key `$accessKey` and secret key `$secretKey`

The step configures the AWS credentials scoped to either current scenario or story: all subsequent interactions with
any AWS service will use the provided credentials. The step is available in all VIVIDUS plugins for AWS.

#3846 [vividus-to-xray-exporter] Add ability to create Test Execution entity upon export

It's not required to create Test Execution entity prior to export, now it can be created automatically.

#3850 [vividus-to-xray-exporter] Add ability to disable test case updates globally

New property:

xray-exporter.test-case-updates-enabled=true

By default, the content of Test Cases that have associated IDs is updated every export run, to disable this behavior set the value of this property to false.

#3854 [vividus-to-xray-exporter] Skip creation of 'tests' link if it already exists

#3853 [vividus-to-xray-exporter] Add ability to publish attachments for test executions

The property xray-exporter.test-execution-attachments defines comma-separated list of file and folder paths that should be uploaded to test execution as attachments. Please note that regular files like images, texts are uploaded as is, whereas folders are archived before the upload.

Changed

#3855 [vividus-plugin-web-app] Deprecate all steps validating state separately

Deprecated step	Replacement pattern

Then a [$state] element with the name '$elementName' exists	Then number of elements found by `By.elementName(<elementName>)->filter.state(<state>)` is equal to `1`
Then a [$state] element with the tag '$elementTag' does not exist	Then number of elements found by `By.tagName(<elementTag>)->filter.state(<state>)` is equal to `0`
Then a [$state] element with the tag '$elementTag' exists	Then number of elements found by `By.tagName(<elementTag>)->filter.state(<state>)` is equal to `1`

#851 [vividus-plugin-web-app] Deprecate steps validating URL of the opened page

Deprecated step	Replacement pattern

Then the host of the page URL is '$host'	Then `#{extractHostFromUrl(${current-page-url})}` is equal to `<host>`
Then the page with the URL containing '$URLpart' is loaded	Then `${current-page-url}` matches `.*<URLpart>.*`

#3847 [vividus-plugin-web-app] Deprecate steps extracting URL components

Deprecated step	Replacement pattern
When I get the value from the URL and set it to the '$scopes' variable '$variable'	Given I initialize $scopes variable `$variableName` with value `#{replaceFirstByRegExp(.*\/(?=[^\/?#]+(?:\?.+)?(?:#.*)?$),,${current-page-url})}`
When I get the URL path and set it to the $scopes variable '$variable'	Given I initialize $scopes variable `$variableName` with value `#{extractPathFromUrl(${current-page-url})}`
When I get the URL value of a video with the name '$name' and set it to the '$scopes' variable '$variable'	No generic replacement, this step is considered too specific, thus it should be implemented in own way for each test project

#3559 [vividus-plugin-web-app] Fix scroll position check for window.scrollY with decimal component

If the document is rendered on a subpixel-precise device, then the value of window.scrollY is also subpixel-precise and may contain a decimal component. Previously it led to false-negative assertions on checks whether page is scrolled to an element.
